Refuse the Plastic Bag

at first in india i was glad of the plastic bags... i thought 'i can use one for laundry, one for storing laundry, one fro trash, some as packaging...' blah blah whenever I don't want to use a zip-lock bag.

Then I realised I was getting several a day. maybe I should carry one in my pocket all the time and use that one. When I got home I realised it's the same here, except here we have bins.

I try to tell them 'no' if I have another way to carry the product. If it will go straight in my backpack, or in another bag. The big stores here- the walmarts and the big guys, they have places to recycle your grocery bags into new bags. This is good, but people are too lazy to use.

Yo Hobo, recycling does work(in Arkansas). I recycle plastic bags(wal mart) and take glass, plastic bottles, newspapers, cardboard and aluminum to the recycling center. I guess recycling while traveling is hard but for the rest of us recycling works. By the way Hobo, like your blog keep it up.

Ironic an anti-plastic bag blog generates plastic bag Google ads.
