 "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Mahatma Ghandi
Tip of the Month Make the switch to re-usable (cloth) tote bags for all of your shopping needs. If you use a cloth bag, you can save 6 bags each week. That's 24 bags a month, 288 bags a year, and 22, 176 bags in an average life-time. If just 1 out of 5 people in our country did this we would save 1,330,560,000,000 bags over our life time! Plastic bags are made from a non-renewable natural resource: petroleum. Consequently, the manufacturing of plastic bags contributes to the diminishing availability of our natural resources and the damage to the environment from the extraction of petroleum. At the same time, plastics are hazardous to produce; the pollution from plastic production is harmful to the environment. Finally, most plastic bags are made of polyethylene - more commonly known as polythene - they are hazardous to manufacture and are said to take up to 1,000 years to decompose on land and 450 years in water.
