The plastic bags you bring home from the supermarket probably end up in a landfill. Every year, more than 500 billion plastic bags are distributed, and less than 3% of those bags are recycled. They are typically made of polyethylene and can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade in landfills that emit harmful greenhouse gases.

Goodwill India helps educate people about the ill effects of using plastic through informative stickers and leaflets at Vegitable and fruits vendors.
