Saving the world...one reuseable bag at a time...by Nick

To get everyone started, I will give some facts that may inspire you to do more and save the environment.


· In the U.S. alone, there are thousands of plastic bags used and wasted a year.

· About 12 million barrels of oil are used to make those thousands of bags.

· Using all that oil leads to large-scale disasters such as the gulf spill.

· Thousands of marine animals and about 1 million birds die because of plastic bags or related issues.

Just seeing some of the facts about plastic shopping bags are horrifying! If you want to save animals, the world, or even prevent another oil spill, then buy an Envirosax from Bliss! :)
