What happens to our plastic globally?
Fantastic Plastic!
The world uses an estimated one million plastic bags every minute:150 bags per year for every person on earth.
The Canadian provice of Ontario banned plastic bags from government liquor stores in 2008 resulting in 80 million fewer bags being used yearly.
It takes about 11 barrles of oli to make one ton of plastic bags. Before their ban, China used more plastic bags than any other country and wasted 37 million barrels of oil on them every year
