Balanced approach

In the United States alone, we use 12 million barrels of oil each year just to make disposable plastic bags. Did you know that taking a reusable bag shopping with you can potentially eliminate an average of 1,000 disposable plastic bags over its lifetime? Bringing our own grocery bags to the store will help save the 100,000 marine mammals that die annually from mistaking plastic bags for food or from choking on them.

Zoya Saltonstall and A Balanced Approach support the use of re-usable shopping bags.
