There's always next year, or as you say you can do your own! <br /><br />I wish they would hurry up and ban plastic bags here, I try to avoid them and still end up with some creeping in. Well done for remembering to take your bags to the shop. it's hard to remember them isn't it! I have a massive handbag, so if I forget my reusable shopping bags I can sometimes fit my shopping in there! <br /><br />Hope you have a lovely week! xxSusie - secondhandsusie.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727933470111599594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-22260353867142234242014-09-08T03:57:33.168+01:002014-09-08T03:57:33.168+01:00I'm a bit bummed Sooz that I didn't know a...I'm a bit bummed Sooz that I didn't know about the "zero waste" week, I would have been all over that and involved my friends. I suppose I can do my own "zero" waste right? I just took my stretchy plastic bags to my grocery store a couple of days ago, here in Austin, plastic bags in stores are banned so even at the grocery store you have to bring your own bags, I loved when it went into affect last year but I have to say, it's harder than I thought, even a year later I still find myself forgetting a bag and I keep them in my van!! I did go to the grocery store today though and I remembered them! Yay! Because they cost a lot to replace all at once! I think the important thing to remember here is that if we try to put stretchy plastic into the regular recycle then the plastic will end up in the trash and a landfill because regular recycle plants don't take stretchy plastic! <br />I think you're awesome for all you do for our planet!<br />I hope you have a great week,<br />Tammy xtlcukjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126317345680620502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-43131235825097946622014-09-07T23:00:33.674+01:002014-09-07T23:00:33.674+01:00Thanks for visiting my blog, I'm glad to share...Thanks for visiting my blog, I'm glad to share the info with you and that your bin will be a little emptier in future!Susie - secondhandsusie.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727933470111599594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-9461833327553811612014-09-07T20:24:45.020+01:002014-09-07T20:24:45.020+01:00Thank you for writing this blog - I had no idea yo...Thank you for writing this blog - I had no idea you could recycle other kinds of plastic bags such as bread bags - that's one less thing that will be going in my black bin bags in future! :) <br />I also had a plastic bag related challenge for Zero Waste Week - you can read about it here <br />http://kimbacooper.wordpress.com/2014/09/06/how-i-banished-plastic-bags-for-zero-waste-week/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
