I asked my local Publix and they use thousands of bags a day. Multiply that by the hundreds of Publix, Walmarts, Winn Dixie, etc.,etc in Florida and the number is astronomical. Many of this plastic ends up in landfills and the ocean.

I throw out all my plastic bags into the trash. Covanta burns it. My plastic bags that I discard in the trash do not wind up in a landfill or the ocean.
