Recycle Plastic Bags

Every morning, our milkman brings two packets of milk in a small plastic bag. We have made a decision that should be an inspirational step for all of my friends, and the other residents. My mother and I took out all of the plastic bags, that had been used for delivering milk. Our deal with the milkman was that he gives us the plastic packets, and after we have a pile of them, we'll give them back to him to use for us. So we're basically reusing all our plastic bags, in different ways, and this is one of them. We straightened all the bags out, and put them in a pile. Tomorrow, we shall be giving these plastic bags for reusing.

Another very good way of reusing all the plastic bags that lie in your kitchen, is the big bags that you get from big bazaar, or spencers, these are the bags that are specially meant for your shopping. Just fold them up, and carry a few of them along, and it is guarenteed that your shopping will hold them. When they start tearing, is when you can throw them away, but you must make as much use as you can of them.

If you have thrown all your plastic bags away, here's the way to go: buy a school bag, and put all your shopping in there. If nessecary, take a family member with his or her school bag as well, and if you URGENTLY need something, then you take a plastic bag from the shop. But you must reuse the plastic bag until it wears out.

These three techniques only apply when one is shopping for more or less the same objects each time . Don't buy something because you want to, or because you have to, buy something when you really need it. Never buy anything unless you absolutely NEED it!
