save the world with a morsbag

we consume over a million plastic bags per second. not me and db, but everyone - globally. that's bad. do you know why? lots of reasons. including, plastic bags aren't biodegradable, they trick and kill wildlife who think they are yummy snacks, and the fill up our landfills.

now, i already try to take my paper and plastic bags with me when i go to the grocery so i can reuse them. and i reuse plastic and paper bags as trash bags, lunch bags, packing materials. i even take my plastic bags back to the store with me and deposit them in the plastic bag recycling bin. maybe you do these things, too. it's a fantastic start :)

did you know there are countries and cities around the world who have banned plastic bags? supermarkets and stores are being required to use paper and fiberous material bags, or biodegradable cornstarch bags (similar to plastic). San Francisco is the first US city to pass a law about this.

lets say you've gotten started saving the world by doing some of the things listed above. now, there is even MORE you can do - and its that much better for the environment!

MorsBags.com gives cool instructions on how you can use any recycled fabric to make your own grocery bags. Plus, they advocate you making lots, registering them, giving them to your friends for free, and reducing the number of plastic bags that are consumed each day. i even know some folks on Etsy who are GIVING these bags away. that's how much they want to help you save the world.

what on earth are you waiting for???
