The Dangers of Plastic Bags

Thanks to Lolo Atomic and Yammy for sending this.  I thought it was important enough to pass on and put it up in Heart2Heart! Last year, Rustan’s Supermarket launched TIME FOR CARING  where they launched an earth friendly reusable bag.  When shopping in the supermarket, everytime you use the bag,  they give you double points.  The promotion was supposed to last for a year but the good news is they have extended the promo.  I thought it was a great idea to have the promo for a year I guess because it is a matter of getting used to it and making it a habit.  I have gotten so used to using the earth friendly bags that I even bring my own cooler to put the frozen items.  Usually they put the frozen items still in plastic bags since the bags might smell or get wet, so what I do is I bring my own cooler to put all the wet and frozen items.  I make sure I do not bring any PLASTIC BAG back with me.  And every time I receive a plastic bag, I set it aside and use it again.  I do not throw them,  instead I reuse it.   Shopwise now has the same bag….. Previous Entry:  Time For Caring September 14, 2007  [email_link]
