Why are plastic bags so bad for the environment? To skim over the surface which is the unsightly look of rubbish washing up on our shorelines there is the toxic element as well. A plastic bag does not just breakdown but breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually is eaten by marine life. In turn when we eat the fish we are also eating what they have. And this means harmful chemicals released from plastic such as BPA.
Bisphenol A or (BPA) as we know it is a chemical used to make plastic bags. Once in the food chain it creates a toxic poison that eventually kills the animals that have consumed it. This is why BPA is not used in water bottles anymore.
Most of the plastic in the Ocean is made up as bottles, wrappers, straws or bags and by changing our consumer habits and demanding change we can make a real difference. It’s simple don’t use plastic bags, use reusable cotton, jute or Nonwoven Shopping bags. Why not add a logo to this product and create a voice for those that do not have one. Promotional cotton bags are simply a great way to show your support.
It is estimated that Australians use around 13 000 000 plastic bags a day. That is an enormous quality and something we should all be ashamed of. If we take this figure and reuse cotton or jute bags then the impacted will be greatly reduced. Our grandparents did not rely on plastic bags so heavily so why can’t we. I still remember the brown Safeway paper bags that my grandmother use to sue and indeed they had a a great big Safeway logo to the outer. This shows the power of branding. A Promotional Cotton bag can last for years and be reused for so many different things.
