7. Got any more interesting facts?

*  If 1 out of 4 Americans used a reusable shopping sak we could save 3 million barrels of oil (105 million gallons)

*  If each Australian family used one less plastic shopping bag each week, Australians would save 253 million plastic bags a year. Consider the familiar plastic bag.

*  If each American family used one less plastic shopping bag each week, its estimated that would save 3.8 billion bags per year. Consider reusable bags. (Calculated with average family = 4 members)

*  These single-use, high-density polyethylene bags are manufactured from petroleum, a nonrenewable resource. It's estimated that nearly 12 million barrels of oil are required to make the 100 billion plastic shopping bags Americans go through annually. Plastic bags have captured more than 80 percent of the supermarket and convenience store packaging market at a cost of $4 billion to U.S. retailers annually.

Waste reduction is reducing the waste going into the waste stream. This can be done by reusing items or cutting back on the amount of waste produced. Consumers can purchase items with less packaging or buy reusable products to create less throwaway material when they go shopping. Waste reduction has helped a great deal in extending the life of landfills by making us wiser shoppers.
