Grocery shopping is a necessary activity that the majority of American households take part in at least once a week. Whether we are going to shop for an entire week's worth of food at Sam's Club or simply stopping by the local Target to pick up that much needed item, we are consistently using disposable plastic bags. The problem with disposable plastic bags is that they create waste. In fact many scientists argue that the average plastic grocery bag is one of the least biodegradable items thrown away. The waste from these bags often wind up in massive landfills where they sit for centuries.
The good news is that there are now several alternatives to the old disposable grocery bag. Reusable grocery bags are now taking over as the preferred replacement for plastic bags. These reusable bags have been produced in many exciting and eco friendly materials including: Polypropylene (non woven fabric) and Recycled Plastic (Rpet). Both of these materials provide long lasting durability thus making the reusable grocery bag a very popular item in many of the large retail chains including: Target , Walmart, Publix, Sam's Club, Costco, BJ's, Walgreens, CVS, and Best Buy.

The benefits of reusable bags outweigh any and all concerns. Green bags are longer lasting and don't fill landfills or destroy forests like their plastic and paper counterparts. At last count over 355 billion (nine zeroes), have been used this year. The effects of this are drastic and far reaching. First, the raw materials used in making disposable plastic bags include complex oils that can actually poison rivers and streams. Next, these plastic bags don't biodegrade, they photo degrade, which means while the molecules may get smaller and smaller they never actually leave the Earth.
