Did you know 100,000 marine animals die annually because of those plastic shopping bags? When will the rest of the country implement policy to elliminate them like San Francisco did? On the Discovery Channel’s web site, I stumbled upon a sub-site called Planet Green. There are all sorts of facts on this site about how our lifestyle effects animals. I switched to canvas several years ago and find that I can carry much more compactly. Not only do I not have to worry about taking the plastic bags back to the store but I am not contributing to disrupting the eco-balance. Now, I need to find out what to do about the cat litter.
