Hazardous Waste/Toxic Use Reduction

Description of Action:

Reusable Bags and Hazardous Waste Reduction While reusable bags primarily reduce plastic waste, they can indirectly contribute to hazardous waste reduction as well. Here's how: Reduced Energy Consumption: The production of single-use plastic bags requires significant energy consumption, often derived from fossil fuels. By reducing the demand for these bags, we can decrease greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants associated with energy production. Minimized Landfill Waste: Single-use plastic bags contribute to landfill waste, which can release harmful chemicals into the environment as they decompose. Reusable bags significantly reduce this waste stream. Reduced Chemical Exposure: The production of plastic bags involves the use of various chemicals, some of which can be hazardous. By reducing plastic bag usage, we can minimize exposure to these chemicals.
