I have gotten to the point that I never use plastic anymore. It was a gradual process.
First I was using the bulky eco-shoppers that you can pick up at the stores - you know the ugly green ones. I forgot those most of the time and got tired of buying them at $1 a piece every time I went shopping. I forgot them because they were bulky and inconvenient - non mobile.
Then I got a set that was great and that I still use. They are sturdy, washable, and very portable. They scrunch up small - 5 to a sheath, or small enough to throw in your purse. The problem with those was just forgetting to bring them with me. I would get to the store and realize I had forgotten them and turn around and go home to get them.
Getting tired of defeating my eco - purpose, using more gas that the darn bags were worth, I got myself on a schedule that works and now I never have to use the dreaded plastic. I'm proud of myself because it really was important to me not to use plastic, but it was a process to get there. It feels good.
Why am I soooo worried about using plastic grocery bags??? Because 1 bag take 1000 years to bio-degrade in a landfill. And while it's bio- degrading the plastic is being leached into the soil and water. I want no part of it.
When cashiers comment on my bags, I give them the whole spiel - some of them look at me like I'm nuts and they will continue to be fine with using plastic. Some really are shocked and I can tell would like to make better choices too.
ENVIROSAX are super great because they take eco-shoppers to a whole new level. I want to start collecting them just because of their amazing designs. ENVIROSAX are the celebrities of the eco- bag world.
We chose "Rusty" from the kids series (pictured above). I thought it would be a good idea to get Julien involved in being responsible for not only his environment, but for helping be responsible for the food that he will be eating. It's another way to stress the importance of every person in this family helping to make this family work.
ENVIROSAX also supports several charities Feeling that giving back to the environment and the organisations who are actively protecting it is essential in ensuring that the planet we leave to our children will be just as beautiful and healthy as the one we have taken for granted in our own lifetimes. Another feel good aspect of ENVIROSAX!
