Can you believe this??

I heard today on the news that we are using 17 million plastic bags a day. That's 80 bags per second. Wow!! I was completely astonished. The reporter had also stated that it takes 1000 years to decompose completely. These are truly amazing facts.

The timing couldn't have been more perfect when I heard this on the radio and I was on my way to the grocery store. Well as soon as I walked in I saw that they had their reusable bags 5 for $5. I bought 5 and said good-bye to grocery plastic bags. We have to think of the future of our children and grandchildren. And even though I may have just changed something by just a minuscule, I feel better about what I did today.

So do your part to save our environment!
