Did you know Americans use over 14 billion plastic bags annually? Did you know that since plastic bags are not biodegradable, they remain intact for hundreds of thousands of years, choking our environment and endangering wildlife? Yes, that plastic bag will still be around in thousands of years, even when you’re not. Our goal at The Westwoodian is to leave a greener legacy, and to promote awareness about environmental issues threatening our planet.
How you can help:
Go to http://www.onebagatatime.com (or click on the article's title!) to learn more. Their website is a great resource for all things green. Here, you can purchase eco-friendly, reusable bags that are designed to replace up to 4 plastic bags at a time, and have a shelf life of up to 2 years or more! How great would it feel if the next time you were asked: “Paper or plastic,” you said neither!
