If every American consumer brought their own reusable bags when shopping, they could cut more than a billion pounds of CO2 a month - that's the equivalent of taking 1.3 million cars off the road!

When you bring you own reusable bag to the store, you:

    •     Save wildlife: Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, birds, whales, and other marine mammals die every year from eating plastic bags mistaken for food.

    •     Save trees: It takes 14 million trees to make all of the paper bags the U.S. uses in one year.

    •     Reduce waste: An estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year globally - enough to circle the earth 63 times tied end to end!

    •     Reduce our dependence on oil: About 12 million barrels of oil are required to make the 100 billion plastic shopping bags used in the U.S. each year.
