1Americаns thrоw аwаy 100 billiоn thin plastic grоcery bags every year. 2Most of these bags are carted off to overflowing landfills, where they make up 4 percent of our garbage. 3However, about one to three percent of the bags escape and become litter. 4Consequently, discarded bags are everywhere, blowing down streets, getting caught in trees and bushes, washing up on beaches. 5 They clog drains and eventually wash out into the ocean, where thousands of marine animals, such as sea turtles, choke on the bags or get tangled in them. 6If the bags do make it into a landfill, they will stay there for 100 to 1,000 years before they finally decompose. 7 Wherever they end up, though, the ink used to print stores' logos on the bags degrades and becomes a toxic poison released into the soil or water.
