Recycling the waste that is created as a consumer is important, but diverting or not creating the waste is just as important to attaining more sustainable environment. One of the easiest ways to reduce your impact on the environment is to use reusable bags. Retailers are offering inexpensive options to the traditional disposable bag to encourage customers to reduce the plastic consumed at their stores.
Retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart offer reusable bags for as low as $.99. The reusable bags themselves are made of 30% recycled materials, and over one-year a single $.99 bag can divert up to 50 disposable bags from being consumed.
