Plastic bags are killing us
The most ubiquitous consumer item on Earth, the lowly plastic bag is an environmental scourge like none other, sapping the life out of our oceans and thwarting our attempts to recycle it.
By Katharine Mieszkowski [2007-08-10]

  • stores can help

    when I go grocery shopping, the bagger only puts 2 or 3 things in each plastic bag! That wastes a lot of bags. I try to help out bagging before I have to pay, and I put way more items in each bag than they do. It would save bags to put more items in each bag, plus make it easier for me to carry my purchases. 5 bags are easier to carry than 10.
