Recuerda
Aunque las bolsas digan que son “reciclables”, las únicas bolsas que se pueden ofrecer en los comercios son las de papel reciclado y las de plástico duro.
5 razones para decir NO a las bolsas de plástico
1 Los estadounidenses usan 100 mil millones de bolsas plásticas al año, que requieren 12 millones barriles de petróleo para fabricar
2 La familia estadounidense promedio se lleva a casa casi 1,500 bolsas plásticas al año.
3 Las bolsas plásticas se utilizan por un promedio de 12 minutos.
4 100,000 animales marinos mueren anualmente por bolsas plásticas.
5 Se tarda al menos 500 años para que una bolsa plástica se degrade.
