PLASTIC Kills our Planet!

Facts about single use plastic bags: Americans use 100 billion plastic bags a year, which require 12 million barrels of oil to manufacture. In 2015, 730,000 tons of plastic bags, sacks and wraps were generated but more than 87% of those items are never recycled, winding up in landfills and the ocean. On average, 300 million plastic bags make their way into the Atlantic ocean alone every year. About 34% of dead leatherback sea turtle have ingested plastics. 100,000 marine animals and more than 1 million seabirds are killed by plastic bags and other plastic garbage annually.
