Everyday I throw away one plastic bag, it contains my kitchen
garbage.
But I bring back home a number of plastic bags daily.
Because every purchase I make comes with a plastic bag.
Therefore I accumulate plastic bags faster than I can use it.
Now I decline plastic bags where I can.
I accept the first plastic bag, of course, and then decline the
subsequent bags, as that bag can hold the subsequent
purchases.
Long time ago, in the office, I realised that plastic bag have a
very short life. Lunch time I buy an item, it is put into a plastic
bag, I return to office, and the plastic bag becomes garbage. Time
span,
Waste not, want not.
The benefit of not wasting will slowly, but surely, come upon us in
many ways.
We will not immediately feel it, we may not even realise it, but
surely resourses redirected to more useful purposes, less polutants
in the enviroment, will be good for us.
