Another way to be eco friendly is to stop using plastic bags. The amount of plastic bags going into landfills, as well as just blowing in the wind, daily is phenomenal. Stop leaving the store with 1 or 2 items in a plastic bag when you could just as easily carry it without a bag. Just keep your receipt handy when you leave the store. All of the grocery stores in my area sell inexpensive reusable bags and they hold a lot. The store I shop at even has insulated bags that zip closed. These bags are very affordable. You can also make your own out of fabric from your stash. I take mine back out to the car as soon as I empty them. If you're not convinced, please read the numbers:
