Call to Action: Plastic Produce Bag Replacement 

• Nearly 2 million plastic bags are used and disposed of every minute. (Earth Policy Institute)

​

• The time in which it takes a plastic bag to fully decompose, depending on the specific plastic type, is between 100 and 1,000 years. During this long process of decomposition, disposed plastics leak several potentially toxic pollutants into the soil of landfills and are carried naturally to our oceans. ​ ​
