The sheer volume of plastic pollution in the world today is massive. Plastic cannot degrade, and therefore, its toxicity continually wrecks havoc on oceans, animals, waterways, and people.  It is expected that by 2050, the seas will have more plastic than fish by weight.

Plastic pollution is toxic to humans, and in some parts of the world, even human babies are now born already polluted by the toxins. Plastic is a petroleum-based product, and it requires the use of fuels that contribute to global warming and climate change.

Reusable jute bags are made from the vegetable fiber of a jute plant, which is the foundation for fabrics such as hessian and canvas. Jute is considered to be eco-friendly, because it is biodegradable, recyclable, and it is so strong that is can be used over and over again.
