The average American family takes home 1500 plastic bags per year according to the NRDC. Most grocery stores now sell cheap reusable bags to replace traditional plastic/paper grocery bags. Reusable cotton bags have to be used 131 times to equal the emissions of a single plastic bag. This is an easy, affordable, and impactful way to make a difference on our planet.
