The production of plastic bags is out of control. Billions are produced each year in order to meet the demand. Recycling of such bags is minimal. Only 1% of plastic bags go to recycling. The remaining bags go straight to the landfills or get blown into our eco system harming our land and sea mammals.

The death of mammals is not the only effect of plastic bags. Millions of oil barrels are used every year in the US alone to produce these bags. This abusive production needs to end.

Eliminating the use of plastic bags is one thing we can ALL do. It’s one simple way to join in the force to save our planet. Going Green is not a “new fad”. It is a necessity. We are already feeling the effects of global warming. We must all take responsibility and do our part.

Many of the large retailer and grocery stores are selling alternative bags. Unfortunately, not many consumers are using them. Some consumers forget to bring them to the stores. Some just don’t care. Others, just dont’ like the retailer’s bags as they have a huge store logo printed on them. The Bag Movement, LLC developed a bag that addresses all those excuses.

The compact, washable bags serve two purposes. They help the environment and raise funds and awareness for charities. Each purchase helps support organization such as St. Jude Children’s hospital, Susan G. Komen Foundation, and many more.

It’s a noble cause. Maybe this will initiate the movement we need. The movement to eliminate plastic bags. We can now help conserve our planet and in return support a charity. What a concept.
