presentation at GoingGreenResources.com

 will eliminate plastic as an option for most people.

 Besides graphic photos of seals, turtles and birds tangled in thesehorrible bags, there are examples of sound reasons and statisticsgiven for banning the use of plastic bags.

 Financial: "China will save 37 million barrels of oil eachyear due to their ban of free plastic bags," - CNN.com/asiaJanuary 9, 2008. How much oil will be wasted in America?

 Environmental: "There are an estimated 100,000 marine animalsthat die each year of plastic pollution." - National MarineDebris Monitoring Program. Our Pacific and Atlantic oceans arevalued by every American - why isn't something being done now tostop this problem?

 Waste: "Los Angeles consumers use an estimated 2.3 billionplastic bags each year. Statewide, 19 billion plastic bags aredoled out by retailers annually. Yet only about 5% end up beingrecycled." - David Lazarus, LA Times July 27, 2008.

 A few cities are taking steps to ban plastic bags. It's a slowprocess. The most effective step Americans can take is toimmediately refuse plastic (and paper) and tell the clerk, "Ihave my own reusable bag." There are also biodegradableplastic-like bags available for use around the home and office.
