We all know that those plastic bags at the grocery store are bad for the environment. At my house we reuse the bags for trash bags or to carry items to parties etc.. but I know we can do better.
From now on I will promise to only use reusable canvas shopping bags, if I forget to bring my canvas bag I will ask for paper bags. (we use these for crafts and I use them for shipping things that I sell online)
If you are buying something small that will easily fit in your purse or pocket, skip the bag, BUT KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!!!
Tip... Buy multiple canvas bags, keep 2 in the car and 2 in the home. That way you always have access to the bags.
Do you want a Free Canvas bag? Just pay shipping from www.FreeShoppingBags.com

Recycling Ideas
I am wanting to build a recycling center that can be dropped off at locations. They will hold up to 4 different items that I can take to the local recycling center. It would colorful and hopefully promote recycling in my community. If you have any ideas send it to me so I can build it and post pictures. I would like to keep track of how much each mobile unit recycles in a year!

What is Pollution?
I believe that to be able to tackle a problem, you must first know a little about the problem. That is why I am posting as my first post the Wikipedia.org definition of pollution.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms . Pollution can take the form of chemical substances, or energy, such as noise, heat, or light energy. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. The Blacksmith Institute issues annually a list of the world's worst polluted places. In the 2007 issues the ten top nominees are located in Azerbaijan, China, India, Peru, Russia, Ukraine and Zambia.
