What is a reusable bag?Why should we use them?

• Reusable bags are, simply put, bags that can be
  used again and again. Reusable bags can be used
  instead of plastic bags that are distributed at
  most grocery and retail stores.
• Each high quality reusable bag you use has the
  potential to eliminate an average of 1,000
  plastic bags over its lifetime. The bag will pay
  for itself if your grocery store offers a .05 or
  .10 credit per bag for bringing your own bags.
• The average family accumulates 60 plastic bags in
  only four trips to the grocery store.
• Plastic bags cause over 100,000 sea turtle and
  other marine animal deaths every year when
  animals mistake them for food.

• Plastics are forever! Plastics do NOT biodegrade.
  Rather, they photodegrade. A process, where
  sunlight breaks down plastic into smaller and
  smaller toxic pieces.Once brought into existence
  to tote your purchases, they'll accumulate and
  persist on our planet for up to 1,000 years.
• Introduced just over 25 years ago, the ugly truth
  about our plastic bag addiction is that society's
  consumption rate is now estimated at well over
  500,000,000,000 (that's 500 billion) plastic bags
  annually, or almost 1 million per minute.
• Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags
  end up as litter each year. Tied end to end
  thats enough to circle the earth 63 times.

What are Farmers Markets? Why are they important?

• Farmers Markets are public markets where farmers
  and other vendors sell produce, such as fruits
  and vegetables, directly to consumers.
• Farmers have direct access to the markets which
  can help to increase farm income. Consumers have
  access to locally grown, farm-fresh produce and
  the opportunity to personally interact with the
  farmer who grows the produce.
• Many urban communities where fresh, nutritious
  foods are hard to find, gain easy access to food.
  Farmers markets also help to promote nutrition
  education, wholesome eating habits, and better
  food preparation, as well as boosting the
  communitys economy.
