Tuesday — Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! Today, I would like to emphasize a change that is SO easy, but can make a huge difference: stop using plastic bags. Each year Americans use 100 billion plastic bags, and only .6% are recycled (Worldwatch). Local grocery stores, as well as Wal-Mart and Target, now offer reusable bags for purchase. When you buy and re-use these bags, instead of plastic (or even paper), you are helping to reduce landfill waste and keep our land free from trash. TRY MAKING A PLASTIC WASTE-FREE LUNCH for yourself or your child today!
