See Ya Plastic Bags…
GreenBiz News has a cool story about plastic bags, or rather the cease and desist of plastic bag use by some companies.
Turns out that IKEA will be halting plastic bag use by October in their U.S. stores. Good news since plastic bags are one of the worst items ever in terms of recycling. People simply don’t recycle their plastic bags. Thus far IKEA has been selling their plastic bags and donating the proceeds to tree planting efforts. That’s nice, but getting rid of them altogether is so much better.
To find out who else is saying, “See ya” to plastic bags (it’s a big company), read the whole Green Biz article.
P.S. If the idea of no more plastic bags has you frantic, no worries, check out these other, better options…
