Statistics!
What's the weight of a plastic bag? About 1 gram?
Then 1 million bags works out to about 1 tonne; 365 tonnes of landfill equivalent per year ... about the same as 400 cars? (No idea what a car weighs!) Or umpteen tyres? Or a village of dead Iraqis?
How much waste does the average mine produce? The average city?
Ho hum - rant over.
Plastic bags are USEFUL. Use them wisely.
