The plastic bag is one of humankind’s most ‘convenient’ inventions. Used for takeout food, drugstore purchases and most commonly, grocery shopping, single-use bags are a key component in keeping daily tasks quick and easy. However, as is the case with so many great inventions, plastic bags are causing serious issues such global warming, environment pollution and energy consumption.

Wrap wise

In an average year, Canadians will through out 540,000 tonnes of gift wrapping over the Christmas season! Putting that into perspective, it’s the equivalent of placing 100,000 elephant’s worth of paper in the trash. So, forget anyone who looks down on you for carefully unpacking your gifts because you want to reuse the wrapping paper. Its not just eco conscious, its eco smart.
