QUICK NOTES

ON PLASTIC BAGS
One million plastic bags per minute are used
worldwide. 100 billion plastic shopping bags
are used annually in the U.S. alone. An
estimated 12 million barrels of oil are
required to make that many plastic bags.
Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, whales
and other sea creatures die every year from
eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for
food. The average family accumulates 60
plastic bags in only four trips to the
grocery store.
