Use your own bags and save resources.They’re not just for groceries – bringing your own bag for any purchase is a great way to lower consumption – but how can you prompt yourself to actually do it?
Simple Ideas
- Make a note on your shopping list or place a note on your door
- Keep them in your car
- If you forget your bag, skip your trip or buy a new one
- Remember you are making a difference – think of the 14 million trees and 12 million barrels of oil we would be saving if we all bagged our own stuff. That’s what it takes to produce the 30 billion plastic and 10 billion paper grocery bags consumed annually by the United States, alone.
