Say 'NO' to Plastic Bags!

Few shoppers stop to consider that disposable plastic bags have a devastating impact on marine animals such as whales, seals, sea birds and turtles. More than 100,000 animals die every year after ingesting or becoming entangled in them.

This is why Animals Australia has partnered with LUSH to draw attention to the 5.6 billion disposable shopping bags used by Australian consumers each year.

Plastic Bag Facts:

• The average plastic bag is used for only 5 minutes, yet can take up to 1,000 years to break down in the environment.
• Turtles, dolphins, and whales can choke or starve by confusing plastic bags for jellyfish.
• On land, plastic bags kill native birds, fauna, and other animals.
• Every piece of plastic ever made still exists. There are approximately 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in each square mile of the world’s oceans.
