RE: Being Environmentally Friendly Isn't Hard
Something key is to remember to wash the reusable bag as well. If you are still eating meat and have some in the bag it will become a petrie dish of bacteria in between grocery store visits.
The other thing to consider is going solar for your home. The amount of fossil fuels monthly and annually is staggering. Every little bit is that much less environment polluting components that are created.
Of course going solar is ideal! However, sometimes it is not affordable at a certain point in time. I know it pays for itself over the years but the investment is difficult to pay for. It's a big commitment to start with but a great commitment nonetheless. Just have to take thinks one step at a time!
And thank you for the reminder about cleaning the grocery bags!
There is always an amount that is affordable and the impact on the environments is beyond measure. When one neighbor sees another go solar they are more inclined to follow suit. So the savings can be through a small example.
Some locales are more cost effective than others, the main action is to look into it. Too many people just assume that it will is beyond their means without investigation. It costs nothing to find out.
Saving the planet from plastic is a whole other topic and can of worms. Do what can be done for the bags and giving up straws can help too. It is small actions over time that make the biggest difference.
Thanks for your input!
