CTV British Columbia – No lead is good lead for shopping bags, doctor says – CTV News.

I know you think you are helping to reduce plastic bags but it seems like you are only adding to the problem. You tend to be free or super cheap so people are getting too many of you and your piling up under the sink (kinda like what happens with plastic bags). You also rip easy and then are no …longer of use so guess where you go? yep the dreaded landfill! Who wants to end up there? Oh and did you hear the latest? now you have un-safe levels of lead!! (read more) So I ask of you cheap reusable bags what are you actually costing me + you…?

Yours truly, me + you…

My friend recently went to California and came back with water in a box. What a great idea! This got me thinking about plastic bottles which are made from Oil. Did you know each year making the plastic bottles in the USA uses enough oil to fuel 1 MILLION CARS? WHAT!

It is simple, sustainable, and beautiful:  Boxed Water is Better

How to STOP USING PLASTIC BAGS
Life without plastic bags is possible. Here are some tips:

Use bio-degradable plastic bags for Garbage and Doggie Bags
Keep reusable bags near your door of your home.
Keep reusable bags in your car.
Use reusable produce bags in place of the small plastic bags at grocery stores.

It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit! Keep working on it and you will be able to STOP USING PLASTIC BAGS.
If you happen to relapse on plastic, then make tomorrow a new day.
