Our Mission


Every year, the United States consumes 100 billion plastic bags. The world annually consumes 500 billion bags. Because plastic bags take 1,000 years to decompose, they remain littered on our streets, in our landfills and our oceans. Effecting not only our society, but the environment and animals that live in it.
Our Mission is to spread awareness through education and address the significant environmental problems caused by plastic (and paper) bags. We are trying to work with both regional and international bodies to spread the message and make the change to banning plastic bags.
You may ask where you come in all of this? By bringing a reusable bag to the store when grocery shopping, (sold at most grocery stores) you will be able to greatly decrease the amount of plastic bags put into landfills. (The average American uses 300-700 plastic bags per year). And when you see this site, spread the word! It's time that we stop consuming, and start making a difference in the world.
Thank-you for your support.
