Reusablebags.com Provides Plastic Bag Alternatives and Awareness on Pollution Issues Caused by Plastic/Paper Bags-

Reusablebags.com is not only the top online resource in attaining good-quality reusable products, but a formidable player in raising awareness and educating the public on pollution issues plaguing our environment because of non-reusable products. The company has donated $5,000 of its proceeds to Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels proposed 20-cent-per-bag fee campaign, which would tax consumer’s plastic and paper grocery bags. The initiative was passed through the Seattle City Council and currently awaits public vote. Reusablebags.com founder, Vincent Cobb states, “In the six years this company has been around, Seattle’s proposed bag fee is the most important piece of legislation we’ve seen to help reduce the consumption of “use-and-toss” bags.” Reusablebags.com has committed much of its time to encourage buyer consciousness in relation to the troubles associated with plastic and paper waste, providing accurate information to shatter any fallacies, and has been particularly influential in publicizing the matter. If the anticipated bag fee goes through, the bulk of fee profits will be allocated toward recycling programs, waste prevention, environmental education programs, and to offer cash assistance for the fee to those with lower income. The intended purpose of the fee is to revolutionize consumer ideology – by requiring payment for plastic bags, shoppers will (hopefully) stop to think about their environmental impact and those who have yet to leave a footprint.
