Useful and eco friendly Tips

Hi All,

Here’s some tips on training yourself to say “no” to paper or plastic and making a habit of using your own bags:
1. Every time you come home from shopping, make it a habit to unload your groceries and immediately put your bags back in your vehicle or hang them on your door knob. Don’t wait – you’ll forget.
2. Set an alarm on your mobile phone or PDA to remind yourself not to forget. Or cover your dashboard, rear view mirror, hatch back and gear shift with post-it reminders.
3. If you make a grocery list before you go shopping, add “Remember Your Bags” to the top of your list.
By using these tips (and of course reusable bags) we can save the nature.
