Plastic bags are out, recycling is in.
There are small and cost effective ways to go Green. We don’t have to spend a fortune on Wind Energy or Photo volteics to begin with if we don’t have the means. What I mean is by starting small we can make a hell of a difference to the way we think and act. I started with just changing one daily habit of mine and that is I never use plastic non biodegradable shopping bags anymore. I have purchased for a small price three recycled bags which I use now for all my shopping needs. I even get some cash back or extra points from various shops just for re using my green bags. The bags I bought are actually recycled from plastic bottles which is quite cute.
It only takes a change of heart to make a difference and this is just one small contribution to the green not mean campaign but it is always better than nothing. Actually it is even better than polluting our Earth with more plastic carrier bags. So if you are reading this, just ditch your plastic polluting bags for a greener alternative. It won’t cost you the Earth but you will be contributing to saving it.
Blog topics like this should be widely spread to educate people on how to contribute to save Mother Earth.
I am glad the shops in your place goes hand in hand to help. I think the government plays an important role in this matter.
Keep it up!
I recently bought canvas bags to use for shopping and I wish that I had done it a long time ago. Not only are they better for the environment, but they are sturdier and easier to carry. It’s an all-around win!
This is a great idea. I also take shopping bags with me to the supermarket so that I do not have to use the plastic ones, I also love the fact that Marks and Spencers no longer give away free bags - you have to pay for them and the money they make goes to an environmental charity. I think all supermarkets should do this.
