Do you say NO!!! to plastic bags at the Grocery store?

Carry your own bag for groceries.

What about paper?

Paper is bio-degradable

But it takes a lot of resources to

produce. When buried in a landfill it gives out methane –

a powerful green house gas

Metals are valueable.

Recycle metal cans and foils.
