As a student I can reduce my ecological footprint on my local environment by saving plastic bags. This will save the fossil fuel petroleum and save animals from eating the plastic bags. This is important to me because it makes me realize the bad impact that we put on Earth when we litter plastic bags. Another way to save plastic bags is to replace them with reusable bags. This will not only save fossil fuels and animals but it will save you money at the store when they give you discounts because your using reusable bags. I will be working with Jessica Ketschek.
