Okay, the photo does not do it justice. What we have represented here is 60,000 plastic bags, equal to the number used in the US every FIVE SECONDS. It makes me totally ill.
I am a fantastic consumer. Man, I sure take it on as my personal duty to keep the economy rolling with my fair share of shopping and consumption. Nonetheless, I am totally disgusted by the amount of waste we have in this country. I realize that it's completely hypocritical but a conundrum I am willing to face nonetheless.
Here's where I start: No more plastic bags. I refuse. I either bring another shopping bag or I am forced to figure out a way to jam all my purchases down into my purse. Cashiers mostly don't like or don't understand but I could give a rat's ass. When I say no bag, I freakin' mean it!
So the artist who made this photo made a bunch of others commenting on our consumption as a nation. It makes me dizzy every time I go to the website but it also makes me keep that thought at the front of my mind. They are awesome. Check them out.
