One person uses more than 325 plastic shopping bags per year. A family of four will use more than 1200 per year. Only 1% of plastic bags get recycled. 700 plastic bags will be used in the life span of one reusable bag. Paper bags are no better because they use more energy to produce than plastic. There are over 100,000 marine deaths per year due to plastic bag ingestion. It takes 1000 years for a single plastic bag to break down in a land fill. Plastic bags do not biodegrade, they photodegrade. This means they are broken down by light and heat, which causes them to leach harmful toxins into the environment.
