I only wish it were sooner and that the entire world will get on board with this, but I&#8217;m glad the plastic bag revolution has begun! In fact, countries around the world are starting to ban or reduce single-use plastics, see the map lower below.<\/p>\n<p>I always use reusable bags or a backpack when I&#8217;m shopping, they&#8217;re much nicer anyway, they can hold more weight, and they can be reused over and over again. I also hope that packaging is re-thought to also reduce plastic whenever possible, those plastic-wrapped organic vegetables\u00a0and plastic labels on organic produce need to be eliminated or switched to biodegradable options.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picklewix.com\/\">Denver Website Designer,<\/a> I recently worked with a wonderful biodegradable plastics company to design their website featuring their biodegradable plastic products that break down without any toxic residues, even in backyard compost bins!
