Single-use plastic bags are increasingly banned in many states and communities as we see the harm plastic creates to our environment. Birds and ocean life often mistake plastic for food, and although some retailers are now charging small fees for polyethylene bags that can be reused, replacing plastic bags with another plastic bag won't solve our environmental problems. The key to minimizing the environmental impact of our shopping bags is to use eco-friendly bags that can be reused repeatedly. That's why choosing all natural canvas or jute bags from ShoreBags creates a positive impact on the environment.
