Have you ever stopped to think about how strange it is that everything we buy is wrapped or placed in bags or sacks?… Even when it's just one item, like a candy… or a packet of potatoes fries. One bag inside another… well, that's crazy!
But it happens all the time. And then we just threw the bag away.
What a waste! The bags and bags are made from Earth's treasures. Paper ones are made from trees; plastic ones, oil. And the manufacture of both greatly increases pollution. But you can help. Just say 'no' to the bags and bags you don't need.
