Because I have a garden composter, food waste doesn't end up in my kitchen trash. I dump that trash into a larger bin outside, and wipe down anything left on the side of the kitchen plastic bag liner or rinse it out if needed. I also clean/reuse plastic bags & ziplocks. Hence, I have not purchased plastic bags of any kind in 3 years. I use cloth bags for grocery shopping and when I do get a plastic bag, I recycle or reuse it. I remember when mom brought home the 1st disposable plastic tub of margarine in the early 1960's. I said, "Won't we eventually run out of room to put all that trash?" She said that would take at least a hundred years or more . . . mom, it's only been 50! -
The point is to make sure as much as possible gets reused or recycled. Many stores now take clothing, including bras and shoes. -
My raincoat began to leak after stopping at the dry cleaners. Why?
