The more we say it, the less we waste

DID YOU KNOW?

* About 2.5 billion plastic bags are used every year in Singapore. That's about 2,500 bags used per family per year.

* Plastic bags are made from oil, a finite resource. If each family uses one less plastic bag a week, Singapore could save 50 million bags each year.

* By using reusable bags during our shopping trips, we will use fewer plastic bags and help to conserve the earth's resources.

* Plastic bags thrown away as litter, dirty our public places, rivers and canals, and may even clog up drains, and this would lead to stagnant water and mosquito breeding.

* Plastic bags litter despoils nature trails, beaches and even chokes up mangroves and poses a threat to marine lives.
