Reusable Bags
Fashion trends come and go every season, but the Poksak reusable bag is here to stay. Reusable bags are the new plastic bags. You can take them anywhere, the grocery store, the gym, library, the beach or even to the local farmer’s market. The possibilities are endless. Why use Poksak reusable shopping bags, because it’s time to protect the environment and wildlife from the destruction caused by plastic products. More and more people are taking action against the use of plastic bags because of the negative impact they have on the environment. Even celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jennifer Aniston are supporting the “go green” movement by using their reusable bags while shopping for groceries.
Environmental Advantages of Reusable Bags
There are many advantages of using Poksak reusable bags. First and foremost, while plastic bags can be recycled, they are not bio-degradable; instead plastic bags simply photodegrade. According to the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey, a branch of the U.S. Department of the Interior) photodegradation is “is the chemical transformation of a compound into smaller compounds caused by the absorption of ultraviolet, visible, or infrared radiation (light),” (USGS, 2006). This process causes plastic bags and other plastics to break into smaller pieces which animals commonly mistake for food. Secondly, using reusable shopping bags will save grocery stores and large consumer chain stores money because they won’t have to purchase plastic bags. Custom branded bags are great for large chain stores in an effort to sell their business as environmentally friendly. Instead of giving away hazardous plastic bags, reusable bags can be purchased at low prices and can be used over and over again!
