Eliminating plastic bags from your store, and beginning to promote reusable bags as a replacement, will serve as an environmentally friendly business choice. Despite the convenience of plastic bags, they are unfortunately not biodegradable. Further, they may harm wildlife in addition to causing pollution. Choosing to use reusable bags would be a more responsible choice both environmentally and financially, as customers could purchase these bags creating a new revenue stream for your store. Lastly, many successful ventures have begun to make more sustainable business choices, and in doing so have gained the trust and respect of consumers.
