Tips on making it easy to stop using
plastic and paper bags.
REDUCE, then REUSE before recycling.
1-Always
keep some reusable bags in the back of the car, or bunch up an old
plastic bag and keep it in your purse, gym bag, etc.
2-STOP! If you forget, force yourself to go back out to your car. Pretty soon just the time that takes will help you remember.
3-If you forget, buy a new reusable bag at the store, and then make it
a priority to spread the word and give it to a friend (if you already
have enough.)
4-Choose paper if you do get stuck. Many places are using recycled paper now, and it is a much better choice than plastic.
5-Teach your children well. They can be your best reminders. Lets care for their earth!
