Fewer Free Plastic Bags Handed Out
by David Allen on Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
It was not that long ago when plastic bags and shopping went hand in hand. However, due to the environmental repercussionsof using plastic bags, more and more customers must now ask for a plastic bag when they purchase an item from the store.
In the last year, three and half billion fewer plastic bags were handed out by stores. At the same time, seven and half million reusable bags were sold. These bags come in many different styles but the most famous is the “I’m not a plastic bag” by Anya Hindmarch.
