Eco Friendly Bags

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. alone every year. The bags are known to bring death to wildlife, leak toxins and other carcinogens into the soil and to top it off it takes around 430,000 gallons of oil to produce just 100 million plastic bags, now that can not be right can it?
