Earth Day!!!!

April 22nd is the earth day's 40th anniversary even though we are aware of it only few years back. Incorporating little changes in our everyday activities may help create a bigger impact on this earth. According to me, the most important and easiest changes that we can make are

1. Using reusable bags in the place of plastic bags
2. Using microfiber kitchen towels instead of paper towels

I'm going to help you find some great ideas to make a reusable bag on your own or buy an inexpensive bag.
Even collecting bag one at a time would get you the feeling of fulfillment that you are somehow contributing to this earth.

1. Buy one of this bag from getmyeco.com
2. Make your own reusable bag looking at Martha Stewart's tutorial here
3. Make your bag from an unused T-shirt using the tutorial here
4. Check out your local Safeway store to get a free reusable bag when you buy $40 in groceries
5. Check your local Ross stores where you can buy a really good size reusable bag for anywhere from $2 to $3.

Third one in the above list is the really cool idea to have a reusable bag.

I hope you will make your first step towards going green-if you haven't yet-using the information in this post.

Thanks for reading!!!

  1. Gud one Sharmi! I totally concur. You know Walmart has stopped giving plastic bags, we need to buy one if we want for 15c. Didn't expect that from Walmart for its reputation!
