Paper or Plastic?

January 26th, 2008 categories: Fun Things, Living Green, Sacramento

Paper or Plastic, Sacramento?That will be the 15 cents, please if you chose plastic.

Our Legislators will be working on passing a bill to charge 15 cents for each plastic bag that your groceries are bagged in.

The reason is that damage is being caused to our ocean by these bags as well as the generational time that it takes for the plastic to break down at the dump.

The E-Friendly thing to do is use a cloth bags. Im sure youve seen them, they are sold at the grocery stores. And if you start now and buy one each time you go to the store, you will soon have a collection of healthy e-friendly cloth bags.

San Francisco has already banned plastic bags all together. So wont you at least give paper a try? Its important to start lets not be stubborn. Each person can and will make a difference. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren as well as the creatures in the ocean.

Heres a little hint I learned awhile back:

One thing that is rather cheap to do and Im sure that you have plenty of at your house

Take an old T-shirt, cut the arms off and sew up the bottom. This now makes an excellent way to carry your groceries using the arm slots as handles. If you dont sew, take a bunch of T-shirts to the cleaners and ask them to sew the bottoms.
