Cotton – Ecologically Friendly

Plastic is a byproduct of petroleum and not exactly environmentally friendly. Seeing a landscape littered with plastic is not nice on the eyes or the landscape. In order to make paper bags, more and more trees obviously will need to be cut down. On top of all this, plastic and paper bags simply cannot match the durability of a cotton bag.

Nowadays people are switching to more ecologically friendly products which include the use of cotton bags. The advantage of cotton bags is that it is made from a sustainable, biodegradable product. After all, cotton is a byproduct of the cotton plant. Not only is it more environmentally friendly compared to paper and plastic bags, it can be used over and over again. It is very durable and practical to use. If taken care of properly it will last a long time. When a product can be used many times over, it means that it does not have to be reproduced nearly as much.
