REDUCE THE USE OF PLASTIC BAGS

  

     As we all know there will be lots of carry- bags/plastic bags coming into our house in some or other way.  So, just try to think about an alternative for those bags.

     Shopping bags- We can use Cloth /Jute bags – we can get many designer bags also. These are washable, reusable bags. So, a one-time buy is enough. They last for years.

Vegetable /fruits/flowers- For this also, we can use cloth vegetable bags. These days, we can get cloth bags with several pockets inside, especially for vegetables. This bag facilitates easy segregation of veggies and also avoids bringing home small plastic carry bags.

Storage bags- Instead of using plastic bags for storing veggies, fruits & flowers, which is neither healthy for us nor eco-friendly, we can use small cloth storage bags /cloth potli bags. These bags are eco-friendly as they are made of mostly cotton/muslin cloth. They retain the freshness of veggies and fruits for a longer period when compared to plastic covers.

What more- we can even prepare/sew/stitch these bags at home if we have time and interest. We can use any clean cotton fabric for this.

Lets Not Forget :

To always keep 1or 2 cloth bags in our purse/office bag/ car/byke / office desk and wherever we go.  This way we can avoid a lot of plastic bags coming home. 

It's not just  serving or caring for the environment- its caring for our family’s health & happiness.

Because we  are fully dependent on the environment. What we breathe, what we eat, what we wear and what we see – all these are nothing but the environment. So, if it's safe- we are safe.

REMEMBER

 PLASTIC -KEEP AWAY
 HAPPY-ALL THE WAY
