Are you with the world??????
In all possibility, you are with the world. Conservation of the environment is a collective responsibility and it is up to all of us to protect it from the growing environmental concerns. One such major concern is the possible increase in greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is caused when infrared radiations from the earth’s surface are prevented from escaping into the outer space. This happens due to the increased production of man-made greenhouse gases that acts as a blanket and prevents the infrared radiations from escaping out. The consequence is Global warming.
Greenhouse gases are the result of emissions caused by burning of fossil fuels during the production of certain matter. One such product is plastic and paper bags. It is estimated that approximately 12.5 million barrels of oil is used annually for the production of plastic bags in U.S.The concern lies in the possible increase in global warming due to the effect of greenhouse gases emitted during the production of such high volume of plastic bags. The resultant increase in the concentration of Carbon Di-oxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and other Fluorinated gases will only lead to a further degradation of the environment.
Bagsontherun offers you stronger, durable and safer reusable greenbags.
The solution lies in the use of greenbags. Unlike paper bags, the production of greenbags does not lead to emission of harmful greenhouse gases. They are made of non-woven polypropylene that is not only strong but also can be reused/ recycled. Paper bags, on the other hand, are not strong and cannot be reused for a longer period. Apart from these, greenbags made of non-woven polypropylene are water repellent which avoids formation of bacteria and odors. Being FDA approved, green bags are absolutely safe to use and contain no toxic chemicals that can cause allergies to the human skin.
So let’s say a big NO to greenhouse gases by stopping the usage of paper bags. Use the stronger, recyclable and safer greenbags and give the environment a fresh lease of life.
