Think! Act! Reuse!

Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide.

That’s over one million plastic bags used per minute. (planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/plastic-bag-facts.html) Improperly discarded plastic bags very often end up washed out to sea.

At least 267 different species are known to have suffered from entanglement
or ingestion of plastic marine debris. (www.worldwatch.org/node/5565)
