Shortly after we finish our PB&J, slightly used, the bag gets tossed in the garbage and heads to the Landfill where it takes 20 YEARS to decompose! However, if it escapes the massive garbage heap and drifts to, say... the ocean, it takes 10 years to decompose. Turtles mistake them for jellyfish and suffocate, and birds break them down when trapped inside. The Plastic Bags lifespan is cut in half at natures expense, but this can all be avoided!
Think green and reuse, spend that extra $1 when you go to Safeway and buy a Cloth bag, wash out that Ziploc that's been used for crackers and use it again! Or if you want to steer clear from Plastic baggies all together buy these cloth ones! Easy to rinse out and use again, dishwasher (top shelf only, no dry) safe, cheap and cute as all get out!
Set of 3 (1 sandwich, 1 snack, 1 treat, which will last you years) $5
Set of 7 (2 sandwich, 2 snack, 2 treat and 1 gallon size) $10
