Reusable Bags Make Sense

Plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade in a landfill.  Then when they finally decompose, toxic chemicals are released into the soil.

I found this nice Eversave deal listed in the Ft. Lauderdale offerings.  But, there is no requirement to live in Ft. Lauderdale in order to purchase up to 5 of these deals HERE.  http://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/sya/sya-bpa/

ABOUT BPA (Bisphenol A) and why you should want to keep BPA away from you and your loved ones, especially infants, children and pregnant women 

See the conclusions about BPA safety reached by the U.S. National Institute of Health - National Institute of Environmental Health Services, HERE.

2 quotes from the site: 

• "The NTP has some concern for effects on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and children at current human exposures to bisphenol A."
•  
• "The primary source of exposure to BPA for most people is through the diet. While air, dust, and water are other possible sources of exposure, BPA in food and beverages accounts for the majority of daily human exposure. "
