Dudes, I’m dedicating every Sunday till the end of the month to share my environment woes and urge you to join me in reducing the size of our foot prints on the planet.
This week, let’s vow to begin using reusable grocery bags whenever we hit the market. Almost every market sells one now. If yours doesn’t, you can find them in megastores. Forget plastic bags, they’re vulgar and clutter the world.
If you’re not already using a reusable bag for your grocery and other regular shopping, be warned that it takes some time for it to become a habit. I have about 30 in the house and another 15 in the car. I would forget that I had several in the house and would buy a new one every time. It really does become second nature, though. Keeping a few in the car helps a great deal.
I recycle plastic and glass containers and have gone virtually paperless in my personal dealings. I intend to be mostly paperless in my work very soon.
Remember we are the khalifas on this earth. Now what kind of khalifa litters the ground and the oceans with poorly degradable material, poisoning living things?
Any earth friendly tips and practices ye want to share?
