Did you know 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year globally? What’s even more disturbing is less than one percent of these bags is ever recycled. As a result, our lakes and oceans have been filled with plastics responsible for potentially millions of animals and fish ingesting harmful of material every year. The piling up of plastic waste in the environment adversely affects the wildlife, the habitat, and humans too.
Fortunately, these statistics spurred both organizations and responsible citizens to work together and raise awareness on the impact of plastic bags and encourage the use of other eco-friendly bags. These efforts have made a real impact. In fact, many there eight states that have banned single-use plastic bags all together. But to continue making progress, we must continue changing our wasteful habits.
In today’s post, I’ve compiled more than 155 habit-changing slogans and quotes to raise awareness about the wastefulness of plastic bags. Feel free to use any of these in your upcoming environmental campaigns.
