Updated 6:40 AM PDT, Sun, Aug 2, 2009
Paper or Plastic? How about neither. The “Got Your Bags?” campaign kicked off Thursday in San Jose urging you to change your answer to the question. The campaign, backed by non-profit, government and business groups, is part of a statewide effort to encourage Californians to recycle plastic bags and tote reusable bags instead.

<p id="paragraph3"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Each year more than 500 billion bags are used across the globe. Only a slim fraction of those are recycled. According to the reusable bags <a href="http://www.reusablebags.com/facts.php">website</a>, plastic bags can take up to a thousand years to decompose in a landfill, and emit toxins into the soil.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">“Making the switch from single-use paper or plastic bags to reusable ones is a simple but important step we can all take to benefit the environment,” said <a class="informTopicLink" href="/topics?topic=Chris+Peck" title="Chris Peck">Chris Peck</a>, publicaffairs director with the <a href="http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/">California Integrated Waste Management Board</a>.</div>
