Why Habits Matter to the Environment
Personal choices make a difference not just to families’ well-being, but to the health of the environment. For example, more than 2 billion single-use, plastic shopping bags are used in Los Angeles County each year. Some estimate that Californians across the state use as many as 600 bags per second. Almost all of them are used once and thrown away. Too many end up in the Pacific Ocean, where they pollute the water and harm marine life.
