Reduce Litter, Go Bagless

Just as important as recycling our waste streams, is reducing them, and a very easy way to reduce is too go bag free when heading out to the grocery store, or shopping.  BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) is a great way to keep plastic bags out of our landfills, out of our environment, and out of our waterways and oceans...stop the site of plastic bags blowing in the wind by bringing your own plastic bags, own the battle cry of "Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. 

Each of us doing our small part can make a difference when all those small parts are added together, and bringing your own bags shopping can contribute to a cleaner environment.  US Retailers each and every year hand out over 380 BILLION plastic shopping bags, and another 10 Billion paper bags.  Those bags too often end up blowing in the wind, ending up in trees, on the sides of our roads, and clogging our water ways.  Saying, "No thank you, I brought my own bags" is a great way to contribute to cleaner world.  Bringing canvas will reduce your own carbon footprint, and save the energy it would take to produce and transport paper and plastic bags to your local vendors.
