BagToDiffer.com Encourages Consumers to Go Reusable in 2010
Denver, CO, January 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- BagToDiffer.com welcomes consumers to 2010 by urging them to make changes to their daily routines with a new promotion: Out With Disposable – In With Reusable. During the month of January, BagToDiffer.com is offering 10% off all Bag the Habit reusable totes. Bag the Habit totes come in a variety of colors and designs.
Why Should Consumers Stop Using Plastic Bags?
The facts listed below are just a few reasons* why “Out with Disposable” in 2010 is so important.
- 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year. The US is responsible for at least 100 billion of these.
- Less than 3% of plastic bags are ever recycled.
- The US alone uses approximately 12 million barrels of oil each year to make plastic bags.
- The refinement of plastic generates multiple toxic by-products, many of which have been linked to cancer, birth defects and damage to nervous and immune systems. Over half of the energy required to manufacture plastic bags is generated by nuclear fission, which requires the disposal of radioactive waste in deep sea trenches and underground caves.
- Unexposed to natural elements, plastic bags remain intact for about 1,000 years. Outdoors they never fully degrade, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces until absorbed by soil and water. This dust then has the potential to enter the food chain through lower level organisms.
- As plastic decomposes it releases the highly toxic organochlorine and the greenhouse gas methane. In addition, it is estimated that 100,000 marine animals die every year from ingesting or becoming entangled in plastic bags.
