Environmental Commission encourages use of reusable bags
The average American family accumulates around 60 plastic bags per month , and with approximately 10,500 households , Englewood residents accumulate 630,000 plastic bags every month .
The Englewood Environmental Commission would like to encourage residents to use reusable bags at the grocery store as well as other shopping destinations .
The key is remembering to bring the reusable bags to the store . Keep them in your car at all times as a reminder , and be sure to wash your reusable bags in hot water to reduce the risk of bacteria from repeated use . You can also purchase reusable produce bags .
