Merchant Spotlight: A Small ACT to Exponential Change
Consider adding a few of these durable tote bags to your collection. With artwork designed by artists in Jacksonville, Florida these are the perfect accessory to help you kick your reliance on single use plastic grocery bags! Made from sustainable organic hemp fabric, these bags make a statement - This is NOT a Plastic Bag!
Would you believe me if I said that the simple act of changing how you carry your groceries home can lead to exponential change?
Now Imagine the impact a state like Florida with a population of 21+ million people could have if they banned plastic bags?
Like we really need 31,500,000,000+ plastic bags laying around in a closet anyway?
Think about it for a moment; Thats a BIG number right? Exponential Change.
No matter where you fall on the environmentalist scale, I think we can all agree plastic has become a major source of unnecessary pollution. As an 80's child, I remember walking down windy streets and having an occasional stray plastic grocery bags blow into nearby trees and think how sad.
Fast forward to today and we have progressive cities like Washington, DC trying to make a difference by taxing or banning single use plastic bags and encouraging the use of reusables. A big win everyone!
Unfortunately our state has taken steps to prevent local governments from regulating plastics. You can read about that here if interested.
Join us in ditching the plastics for reusables!
