Make One Change for Blog Action Day!

Posted on 15 October 2007 by DanielthePoet

It's October 15th, which means today is Blog Action Day. Hundreds, if not thousands of websites and blogs are promoting environmental-friendly topics. Visit the link I just provided to read more about what organizations like Google, Reddit, LifeHack, GigaOm, and the United Nations are doing to promote actions that preserve our fragile earth. 

So here is my plea/contribution to Blog Action Day: it's a plea to you to change JUST ONE THING in your life that won't cause you much money or discomfort.

Are you ready for it? Here it is: Go buy 2-3 cheap canvas bags to do your grocery shopping with. It's that simple. No more paper or plastic! If you use paper, you're using up trees. If you use plastic, you contribute to the massive pollution that plastic plants produce.

The solution is simple. Reuse canvas bags, and drop off your collection of plastic bags to a recycler! If you can't find one, look for a local Whole Foods Market, where you can drop off your plastic bags AND buy canvas shopping bags. It's simple. It's cheap. And over the course of the next 20-50 years that you shop, you'll save a LOT of product and nature from being wasted.

Why NOT do it? It's so easy that it's not even an inconvenience. I bought one last week, and I'll buy another canvas bag or two. Then i'll leave one in my car at all times, and after emptying my groceries, I'll leave the bags by the front door so I'll remember to put them in the car for the next trip to the grocery store.

See?!?!?!? That was easy. You can make a difference too.
