The world uses over 500 billion plastic bags a year — that’s 150 for each and every person on Earth, with 10% of them ending up in our ocean. Whilst this is a devastating statistic, it’s one we can all contribute to changing, with straightforward, simple, and free lifestyle changes that can start at the grocery store counter. By reusing an old bag and refusing a new plastic bag, you can play a vital role in reducing the huge number of plastic bags that make their way to the ocean. We’ve seen policy changes around plastic use have a huge impact around the world, with the UK introduction of a 5p ($0.07) charge for plastic bags in 2015 bringing about an estimated 83% reduction in plastic bag use 🌊 🛍
