The average person uses 167 plastic grocery bags each year. According to UK Plastic Bad Facts:
- We use on average 167 a year
- Only one in every 200 bags is recycled
- Plastics can take up to 400 years to break down in a landfill.
Help out the environment with these stylish, bright and fun reusable grocery bags.

It is meant to replace the many plastic bags we use every day. It can be used as a purse, to carry groceries, purchases at the mall, your lunch. Basically anything that you would have otherwise used a plastic bag for. (Source)
