Sammy the Seal wants to remind you to use re-usable shopping bags

160,000 plastic bags a second

This year 5 trillion plastic bags will be consumed. That’s 160,000 a second!
Put one after another they would go around the world 7 times every hour and cover an area twice the size of France.

Most bags are simply thrown out

Less than 1 percent are recycled. They are most often made from Polyethylene that takes centuries to degrade. Each ton of recycled plastic bags saves the energy equivalent of 11 barrels of oil.
