If you’re looking to make a couple of eco-friendly changes to your lifestyle, going grocery shopping with a reusable bag is a good place to start. Here’s a couple of reasons why you should consider making a switch.

Good For the Environment

You probably already know how bad plastic bags are for environment. They can take up to 1.000 years to break down, and replacing them with reusable ones on a global scale could significantly decrease pollution.
