Hanna Design is helping restart the tradition of using cloth shopping bags to cut down on a major source of waste: plastic shopping bags. The raw material used to manufacture plastic bags is oil. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. uses nearly 12 million barrels of oil to produce over 100 billion plastic shopping bags used annually. Petroleum and natural gas are non-renewable resources and prospecting and drilling for them contributes to the destruction of fragile habitats and ecosystems around the world. In a landfill, plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to degrade; as litter, they breakdown into tiny bits, contaminating our soil and water. Hundreds of thousands of animals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food. When swallowed, the thin plastic chokes them or blocks their intestines, leading to an agonizing death. Be Part of the Change. Call Hanna Design today and order a couple of our canvas shopping bags. The bags are large and sturdy, and the designs are so chic you'll want to take them everywhere! And with retailers beginning to either charge for plastic bags, or eliminate them altogether, it’s the obvious switch to make. Hopefully plastic bags will become a thing of the past soon. Keep several canvas bags in your car (and remember to take them into the store!). |
