ABC plastics investigation, What really happens to the plastic bags you think you are recycling.

Colorado implemented a partial ban with a .10 cent fee on single use bags the first of this year and I think with good success so far. The best recycling is reusing what you have. I have always use my bags for trash and dog waist and was even excited to find almost 6 months into the ban I was finally running low on bags and will need to find even more environmentally friendly options over just reusing the single use bags. Lots of little steps add up. Whether it is filtering your water to limit plastic bottle waist or reusing everything you can it all adds up.
