Why kick the plastic bag habit? When you demonstrate planet-friendly behaviour, not only does it have a direct environmental impact but it also creates a market for business solutions and it builds momentum for government interventions that are urgently needed. And, most importantly, you are seen as a role model to your family, workmates and friends which helps spur them to change!
Everyone - individuals, businesses and governments - has a unique role to play in building a better, healthier future for our planet. It's time to stop asking, "Who should go first?" In these urgent times we must all lead the way.
When you model planet-friendly behaviours - like using reusable bags - you reflect a shared vision of a better, healthier future for our earth. Just as important, when you share this vision with family, friends and workmates, you inspire them to join in. Even simple actions, like using reusable bags, still takes some encouragement. Let's close the case on plastic bags once and for all.
It's true - the situation is serious.
WWF publishes the Living Planet Report on the state of Earth's biodiversity and humanity's footprint of consumption. This report shows that if everyone on Earth used resources as Canadians do, we would need nearly 3.4 Earth's to sustain humanity (without even thinking about the needs of other species!).
