When was the last time you gave any thought to the plastic bags you bring home from the supermarket or the corner store? They are just insignificant things to be used to carry your groceries and other shopping and then to be discarded when you are done with them. Why pay any attention to these plastic shopping bags, right? Well, if you knew the kind of impact those bags could make on the future of the world perhaps you would think about it a little more carefully and maybe make a change for the better as a result. If you were to switch to using natural palm shopping baskets, you would be contributing in a great way by supporting the environment and ensuring a cleaner, greener tomorrow for the generations to come.
The shopping bags we most commonly see are made of plastic and are not biodegradable. This means that these plastic bags are not disintegrated by the environment and lie polluting the environment long after they have served their purpose. When they finally do breakdown toxic components make their way into the ground and therefore into our ecosystems.
Plastic bags are sometimes consumed by land animals that mistake the plastic bags for food. They cannot be digested by the animals and can prove to be fatal for them. When they are left on the ground, they also interfere with the growth of plants. Thus they deteriorate both the flora and fauna of the earth.
Often plastic bags find their way into drains and they pollute the water. These baskets clog the waterways, they do not let air in for the water animals to breathe and at times they have also been known to cause floods. When plastic bags are left in the water, the water animals often mistake them for food and sometimes have to pay for this mistake with their lives.
In lieu of the environmental hazard posed by the plastic bags, many countries are taking steps to reduce their consumption. Ireland decided to tax these bags and this resulted in 90 per cent reduction in their use. Some other countries have banned cheaper, thinner plastic bags, hoping that prohibitive cost of the thicker bags would discourage people from using them. Many other nations are contemplating complete bans on plastic bags.
Every person on the Earth should feel a responsibility to minimise their use of these plastic bags. There are many environment-friendly options you can opt for. One of the best would be to switch to using natural palm shopping baskets. They are tough, long lasting, re-usable and biodegradable. These baskets are manufactured in an eco-friendly atmosphere and they are a very good, if not better, alternative to plastics. Palm shopping baskets can be washed and cleaned easily and thus they can be used time and again.
They are strong yet light and so they can be used to carry quite heavy items. These shopping baskets can be disposed of easily when you feel you have used them sufficiently. Palm shopping baskets are definitely not costly if you consider the kind of benefits you can derive from them. Hence, shun plastic shopping bags right away and go green by opting for palm shopping baskets, today!
