We are using their fundraiser program for our Green Team and plan to use the money raised to purchase recycle containers to collect plastic bottles for recycling. Educating the public on ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, repeat is an on going process. Just because we live in a convenience economy doesn't mean we should take everything for granted.

It is remarkable how quickly one adapts to carrying a shopping bag(s) in your car or/and purse. It is a habit that is easily implemented. You can very readily find bags, and here I'm talking about fabric or some long lasting fiber, in all food markets and many other stores as well. They come in all sizes including those that fold up into a little pouch and fit in a purse or wallet. <br /><br />Purchasing a bag isn't necessary. So many organizations give them away as promotional gifts. Some of them are extremely well made. <br /><br />Once again Bob I have got to say...I have learn so much about blogging organization and style from your bloggs...I salute you!North of the 210https://www.blogger.com/profile/07831348448493340906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-35556429256429892332012-05-29T12:31:16.603-05:002012-05-29T12:31:16.603-05:00I agree, littering with something else isn't a...I agree, littering with something else isn't any better.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-15046536322272296252012-05-29T12:30:16.580-05:002012-05-29T12:30:16.580-05:00I agree with you all about littering and recycling...I agree with you all about littering and recycling.

Generally speaking most alternatives to bags are either bringing your own bag or buying one from the store.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-14759404316546632202012-05-29T11:33:46.283-05:002012-05-29T11:33:46.283-05:00I reuse most of my plastic bags at home and then t...I reuse most of my plastic bags at home and then there are recycling programs, but I wouldn't mind going back to good ol' paper or even boxes or something like that. I think that banning something is always going to make people <i>not</i> want to comply. Giving them more attractive options may phase out plastic by choice.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.com
