So, what's the big deal about plastic bags, anyway? Well, for starters, they're used for an average of 12 minutes before being thrown away, but they take hundreds of years to decompose. That's like buying a coffee and throwing away the cup after one sip - insane, right? And to make matters worse, plastic bags often end up in our oceans, harming marine life and contaminating the food chain.
But here's the thing: plastic bags aren't just bad for the environment - they're also super useless. I mean, who actually uses a plastic bag for more than carrying their groceries from the car to the kitchen? Not me, that's for sure. And yet, we use over 100 billion plastic bags every year in the US alone. That's a whole lot of unnecessary plastic waste.
