I try to do my best in helping the environment. I recycle my glass, cans and plastic. I carpool as much as possible. I don't litter. I use the canvas grocery bags when I go shopping to cut back on plastic. Everyone has them and every store sells them for a dollar or two. So I buy them. I am proud of myself for being "green".
Well at least I was until someone pointed out a flaw in my purchasing all of these bags. My lovely boyfriend said one day that by buying all of these bags I was doing to opposite of helping out the environment. OK so I have about 15 of them. What's the big deal? He said that I was still using resources from the environment. But I think he is wrong. I use them for everything. I use them for shopping, I pack my lunch in them, I keep my knitting in them...the list goes on. It's becoming kind of an addiction. I feel the need to have one from each store that sells them. So if nothing I am a consumer on a budget spending a dollar or two at Albertsons, Vons, Office Depot, Joanne Fabrics, Wegmans, Safeway, Sears, Trader Joe's and even a super market in Scotland called ASDA.
