Biodegradable Trash Bags

According to TerraPass "Beyond the carbon footprint, single-use plastic bags have many other negative impacts on the environment. Some of the reasons plastic trash bags are harmful include: Plastic trash bags could take hundreds of years to break down. Most trash bags are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which is manufactured using non-renewable fossil fuels. Plastic trash bags can break down into microplastics, which are increasingly contaminating the oceans, harming marine animals, and entering our food supply" (TerraPass). Biodegradable trash bags offer a sustainable solution and alternative to this problem. Biodegradable trash bags are compostable and will decompose rather than become plastic that floats in the ocean or other environments and dangers wildlife. Biodegradable trash bags can be purchased on Amazon for $5.99 for 80 bags.
