Recently, a friend of mine posted this picture on her facebook profile.
How does this make YOU feel? For me, it evoked sadness and a desire for change. Change does not come all at once, but rather in small steps.
As consumers, there are many things we can do to reduce our use of plastic, for example, using reusable grocery bags. You can go one step further and try reusable produce bags. I purchased several from www.grassrootsstore.com/ ($4.99/ea) about a month ago, however, there are many similar products from other companies as well as cheaper alternatives.
Have you made a small change lately? I'd love to hear about it!

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is the largest landfill in the world, is more than twice the size of Texas. Plastic constitutes 90% of all the garbage floating in the oceans. Plastic is polluting our planet, killing ocean life and making the rest of us sick. I hope that we can all take positive steps towards reducing our use of plastic. Thanks for recommending the fabric produce bags. I use them all the time and love them!
