Next time the supermarket cashier asks "Paper or plastic?" wouldn't it be great to respond with "Neither. I have my own thanks!"

Reusable bags reduce consumption and as a result promote "waste wise" customers. When consumption is reduced so is the impact on the environment.

GreenSak offers affordable, reusable shopping saks. These strong and sturdy saks are easily stored in the trunk of your car or anywhere for that matter, and replace the disposable plastic (and paper bags) that end up in the trash, landfills and environment for upto 1,000 years after one use.

How the GreenSak can help reduce the quantities of plastic bags

Single-use plastic bags are one of the most common items found in our landfills. The best way to eliminate the avalanche of plastic bags that are taking over our environment is through source reduction.

Source Reduction refers to any change in the design, manufacture, purchase, or use of materials or products (including packaging) to reduce their amount or toxicity before they become municipal solid waste. Source reduction also refers to the reuse of products or materials. (Source: www.epa.gov)

During the past 35 years, the amount of waste each person creates has almost doubled from 2.7 to 4.4 pounds per day. The most effective way to stop this trend is by preventing waste in the first place. To learn more about this, try visiting the EPA's website.

GreenSak is an endorser of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) WasteWise program. By endorsing the EPA's Wastewise program we are setting a standard for environmental leadership. Wastewise is a partnership program through which organizations reduce municipal solid waste and select industrial wastes, their bottom line and the environment.

Will Americans buy into reusing? Even environmentalists doubt if the mentality about consuming plastic grocery bags can be changed, says Brian Halweil, a researcher from the World Watch Institute, an environmental think tank in Washington. "It stands for the deep-rooted American mindset of being able to repeatedly use and throw away, without thinking about the consequences," he says. "It is a perfect metaphor for our disposable society."

Yet Halweil also sees hope in other, analogous efforts. "Putting up with smoking in public places used to be second nature," he says. "Now it is not tolerated anywhere."
