If you care about the ocean please sign and share this petition to WalMart to phase out one use plastic bags. If they alone stopped giving them out it would stop 18 billion bags being dumped a year with many ending up in the ocean.
the elimination of more than 270 million pounds of plastic shopping bag waste globally
the equivalent of 1356,000 barrels of oil every year
a greenhouse gas reduction of 580,000 metric tons
and these are numbers provided by WalMart.
If they phase them out then Target and all the other large chains might follow. Multiply the above numbers by at least 10 to get an idea of how big the numbers are just in the US and what a difference we can make if we work together.
Thank you.
