Plastic Bag Ban



At the beginning of this year, plastic shopping bags were banned in South Australia. If a store is caught supplying these bags they could face a fine up to $3594 (approx). I am truly amazed that someone is finally taken initiative on this matter. The US definitely needs to follow this idea whole heartedly.

The more you know:

Plastic bags cause global warming and pollution from beaing produced.
Stores give away bags for free but in return offset costs by raising product prices.
Animals lives are endangered from discarded bags.





So... purchase a bag from your local market or buy one online...
Eco Bags
