]]> many states have banned single-use plastic grocery bags because of their impact on the environment. but how effective are these bans? paper and cotton tote bags aren’t always better for the environment. paper bags must be reused 3 times and cotton tote bags must be reused 131 times. furthermore, producing paper and tote bags emit more toxic chemicals than plastic bags, and they’re heavier and bulkier, meaning more resources for transportation and distribution. so what can we do to help the environment? it’s a motto as old as time: reuse! regardless of the type of bag you use, be mindful of how you’re using it and don’t assume that just because it isn’t plastic, you’re doing your part to help the environment.

]]> check out the pilot to planet forward’s new web series, green screen! we try to make sense of the leading issues in the sustainability space, with some kicks and giggles along the way. this week’s episode is about plastic bags: they’re the new moonshine; everybody’s outlawing them. hawaii has a ban, california’s considering one, and washington, d.c., has had some success reducing the amount of plastic we waste with a 5-cent bag tax. but why bags? and is there another way? 

thanks to students tim palmieri and megan varner for the inspiration for our premiere green screen. do you have a great story to tell about the environment or sustainable cities? share it and maybe you’ll launch our next green screen. and by the way, if you haven’t heard of storyfest, make sure you read about how to enter your piece in that, too.
