Some interesting facts  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My dh just got a re-useable bag from Ace Hardware when he got a truck load of potting soil. On the bag was a tag with some pretty interesting facts.

14 plastic bags contain enough petroleum to drive a car 1 mile

380 billion plastic bags or wraps are thrown away in America each year

Making paper bags emits 70% more global warming gases than making plastic bags

0 paper bags biodegrade in landfills due to lack of oxygen

Cities spend up to 17 cents per bag in disposal costs, wasting millions of tax dollars.


Just something for us all to thin about.:
