My last post had so much good information about Rocking The Cradle genius I wanted to leave it up for awhile. Much has been happening on the projects that I started at the first of the year. I have information that I will be sharing on blogs to come. This blog however is dedicated to SHOPPING BAGS.
Let me ask you, "Have you made the switch?"
Some recycling facts:
- In recent years, the number of U.S. plastics recycling business has nearly tripled. More than 1,600 businesses are involved in recycling post-consumer plastics.
- Plastics in the U.S. are made primarily (70 percent) from domestic natural gas.
- Plastic bags and product wraps (known collectively as “plastic film”) are commonly recycled at the many collection programs offered through major grocery stores.
- Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space.
- Only 27 % of plastic is recycled each year.
- Small plastic bags made up about 9 percent of the debris found along various U.S. coasts in a five-year study.
- Plastic bags photodegrade, meaning they slowly break down into smaller and smaller bits that can contaminate soils and waterways.
You're so cool!
