Eco Acts of Kindness

We have all been hearing and reading about the plastic fish and birds are eating; therefore, we are, too.  What can you do about it? A lot!

 

 Keep a compact reusable bag in your purse for those spur-of-the-moment purchases. Refuse a plastic bag for five items or less. Fit purchases from different stores into the same bag wherever possible. There’s no reason to have eight shopping bags with only one item in each.

Put your cloth bags back in your car as soon as you’re done unloading groceries. There’s less chance of forgetting them at home that way (and you’ll be one step closer to using them!). Keep them on the front seat, rather than in the trunk. If you see them, you’ll be far less likely to forget them. I am not embarrassed at all about being a bag lady. I urge you to embrace your inner bag lady or bag man and practice eco acts of kindness.
