As we already know, the earth is facing environmental changes and destruction due to human overconsumption. The consequences can be dire. For example, plastic grocery bags in a landfill can take upwards of 1,000 years to degrade. This is because they don't biodegrade, they photodegrade. Grocery bags break down into smaller toxic pieces and typically end up in the oceans causing dangerous bioaccumulation in the food chain. Still, we face more immediate problems from sustainability. Here are a...

If you are getting ready for a big move, you probably have a lot of packing to do. This can be a long, arduous process, but there are a few things that you should know that can help speed it up. Here are some helpful tips and tricks for using household items to streamline your move.

The United States alone uses roughly 100 billion plastic bags per year, meaning that the average person uses anywhere from 350 to 500 bags per year. This is alarming for a great number of reasons, and by itself this statistic should be enough to convince many people that they should buy reusable grocery bags. If you need more convincing, here are a few other reasons to buy reusable grocery bags instead of using plastic ones at the checkout counter. 

1. Pollution

Since plastic doesn't...

Did you know that plastic bags compose over 10% of all washed-up coastline debris that pollutes the United States? It isn't all that surprising given the number of products buy in stores across the country. It also might not surprise you when you encounter a store that charges you extra for a plastic bag in an attempt to make the world a greener place. This is where the benefits of reusable bags come in. In order to stop pollution from plastic grocery bags, consumers everywhere need to be...

The Environmental Protection Agency has been collecting data on plastic bags for over a decade. They've found that only about 2% of plastic bags are ever recycled in the United States.

Getting people to switch to reusable bags, however, isn't as easy as one would hope. 

Though this likely has less to do with a malicious contempt for nature and more to do...

Reusable bags can take a beating -- everything from dirt and sand to sticky messes from an accidental spill. If you plan on using items such as reusable insulated bags in an effort to save the environment (kudos), you should also save yourself from the occasional gross and sometimes odorous lunch bag. 

Reusable bags can be used for anything from a portable wine bag to take to the beach or a daily grocery bag. Of course, after awhile they can get on the sour side. That's because insulated...

The liquor industry uses far too many paper bags every year. While trees are a renewable resource, deforestation goes beyond simply cutting down trees. It destroys entire ecosystems. Since most paper comes from tree pulp, roughly 14 million trees were cut in 1999 to produce 10 billion paper grocery bags used by Americans alone, and the numbers have stayed about the same every year since then. Switching to a reusable, renewable way to carry groceries and liquor is one of the most important...

Contrary to popular belief, you really can still ask for paper bags at the grocery store checkout line! Even so, the words, "Paper or plastic?" have mostly faded from memory, as billions of little plastic bags get handed out each year. In fact, the United States uses about 100 billion plastic bags per year, with the average person using between 350 and 500. There's no denying that they may be convenient in the moment, but there's also no denying that there's a much better alternative for them...
