Easy ways to remember your plastic bag alternative!
Plastic bags are a blight on the planet. But don’t take my word for it. The facts are in this article at Livestrong.com or check out this video to sort it out for you. I expect the number is decreasing, but according to a recent estimate, Americans use one trillion plastic shopping bags each year.
By now, most of us have a plastic bag alternative. The problem now seems to be remembering to take it with you when you go to the grocery store! Here are two simple options:
- If you drive to the store, keep reusable or recycle shopping bags in your car, so they will be active and ready to serve you on your next grocery run.
- If you walk to the store, install a hook or a nail near the exit door and hang them there.. again, ready and waiting to serve you.
