Plastic Demand:

The other day at the department store I saw a woman buying a loaf of bread. Her bread was packaged in no less than three layers of plastic, one of which was a thick, crinkly vinyl pouch, with a few twisties thrown in for show.

If you buy a bottle of beverage, you get a bag. And where do these bags end up? Well, as refuse in lakes and ponds, burned in incinerators, and taking up space in landfills. I was given a few canvas bags (which cost under a dollar each) and now I try to avoid receiving any extra bags when shopping. They also make great gifts, and last basically forever.

If everyone used fewer plastic bags less, imagine how much less litter and trash that adds up to...
Habits are easy to fall into, yet easy to dismiss when change is desired and perceived as doable.
