May's Green Challenge: Failing grade
Last week I invited everyone to join me in using reusable bags exclusively for purchases and saying, "goodbye" to the plastic bag. It's a habit that I have yet to acquire and I'm working hard to do so.
This week hasn't been a total bust. My grocery store trip was perfectly executed and the cashier seemed to know the drill. I forgot to bring a bag with me to Sam's club but they don't give out bags anyway so I was in the clear. Twice I've gone into a store with a cloth bag and forgot to give it to the cashier which resulted in an awkward relinquishing of the plastic bag at the counter. I only hope that they got reused.
For next week I vow to do better!
