❗️A plastic bag has an average working life of only 15 mins! 💢 And the same bag will take more than 1000 years to degrade in a landfill. 🔆 Many of us use reusable bags made from cotton, jute, etc. 💭 However, cotton, though sustainable, has a huge carbon footprint! 🛍️ According to UNEP, compared to 1 single-use plastic bag, a cotton bag needs to be used 50 to 150 times to have less impact on the climate. 📎 Another study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark mentions an organic cotton tote needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production! ✌ So, make that bag your best friend and take it everywhere and avoiding single-use plastic is even better! 📲 You can check out 120+ planet-friendly brands at sortin and get rewarded for each grams of CO2 emissions saved!
