“International Plastic Bag Free Day” is July 3rd and a reminder that every time we take a new plastic bag from our favorite retailer, we fail to use our beautiful, reusable bags that lower the toll that plastics take on our environment. Here’s some statistics that may help you remember to take those reusable bags with you next time – or take those extra steps to go back to the car and grab them. “Plastic bags remain in the world for anywhere from 100-500 years before finally decaying completely.” – www.plasticbagfreeday.org. My favorite non-profit, Cura Oceanus, had this to say, “While trash has serious impacts on marine wildlife and the environment in general, plastics and how they break down – or don’t break down – raise a specific set of concerns.” – Cura Oceanus, www.curaoceanus.org/plastics-ocean. Be a hero and use your reusable bags every time you shop and support great organizations like these with your tax-deductible donations. Now that’s making our environment a better place and a bit of natural Feng Shui. https://www.facebook.com/CuraOceanus
