In honor of Earth day which is 4/22, Melissa at Adventuroo {who I had the pleasure of meeting last Wednesday night!!} made this week’s Capture the Everyday about what you are doing to save the planet.
When I heard the theme last week, I immediately thought that my biggest change this year is keeping the plastic & using reusable bags. I started with buying the red Target one. Then I got the green Target one free last year & the orange & other green one were freebies too. I keep some in the house {I use a big maroon Farm Bureau for dry cleaning}, but mostly I keep them in my car. I’ve learned if they’re in my car, I can’t forget to grab them before going in to the store.

Something else pro-environment we’ve always done is recycling. This year Raleigh gave us this huge blue container that they pick up bi-weekly. We usually fill it up while we might just have one bag or less of trash a week. Yay environment!
I love reusable bags. They give me a sense of pride and I hate when I forget them. I need to get in the habit like you of putting them in the car!!!
I came over from Adventuroo.
I only leave a couple in the car but I don't know why! We also are big recyclers but we still have the small green bins!
I find it easier to use the bags if I keep them in my car too. Just last year our town went to single stream recycling and they come every week. Yay!
I have so many reusable bags it's ridiculous. I just need to use them every time I go shopping!
