According to this website over 1 million bags are used every minute! There are tons of other mind blowing facts on the site if you're interested. So, in order to reduce our impact, try getting some re-usable bags. These Envirosax are my favorite. They fold up really small and are lightweight. I like to keep one in my purse and the rest in my car so I don't have to remember to grab then when I go to the store.
As for water bottles, the same website has equally interesting facts about bottle usage. So if you don't already have one, go to the store and celebrate Earth Day by buying yourself a new water bottle! There are countless kinds but this Nalgene is my favorite while my sister prefers this Camelbak. If you're currently buying water bottles, you're going to save money and at the same time support the environment. If you're living in, or visiting DC I just recently learned of an organization called Tap It that gets restaurants to refill people's water bottles free of charge. So when you're walking around the city look out for their sign and refill!
