Paper or Plastic? It's a question we hear all the time. It's a choice we make every time we got to the grocery store. Well to be honest neither choice is that good for the environment. We can choose between filling landfills with plastic bags that are overproduced and used only once, or we can opt for paper bags made from trees, which are decreasing in area as landfills increase. We don't always think about the environmental impact such an insignificant thing like our weekly grocery shopping has; but when multiplied to global levels, the pollution generated by just the disposable bags we use is horrendous. Over 500 billion plastic bags are used every year and each one takes 300 years to degrade. How many did you use last year?

Some cities around the world are taking measures to stem the incessant pollution of our consumption by making the grocery bag obsolete. Stores everywhere are reducing and eliminating plastic bags in favor of cloth or recyclable materials. But there is no reason to wait for society to change before we make a change. By making the shift for ourselves, from paper or plastic to reusable tote bags, we are lessening our very real impact on the environment; as well as influencing others to do the same.

It doesn't end with just a bag. If we make this shift, we could begin to see other little ways we can change our habits and social norms to benefit the planet, and in so doing, benefit ourselves too.

But hey, that doesn't mean we have to buy the store's brand and do their advertising for them! Why not consider a personal, artistic tote, such as the many designs offered by DeHaan Designs Studio?
