Small things you can easily do

You know that Starbucks that we all rallied to have move into our neighborhood? The next time you visit the store and are going to be staying there to drink your coffee/tea, ask for a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup.

Shopping at Publix, spend $.99 for one of the green or black reusable shopping bags. The affordable and recyclable "green" bags are made of non-woven polypropylene (plastic) which looks like canvas. Publix also has sold reusable canvas bags for many years. Customers can also bring in their own bags for Publix to bag their groceries. I was very surprised to see the amount of groceries that fit into one of these bags. This is going to be a habit change for you and will take some effort to make it work. When you get the groceries home, remember to put the bags back in you vehicle to make sure they are available for you next trip to the store.
