Methods to avoid using plastic
1. Bring a reusable (preferably cloth) bag to the
grocery store
This is so easy,you already do it, or at least try to. I see
lots of people ,carrying plastic bags for which you have to pay something like 5 Rs. a bag
if you didn't bring your own.Let me tell you, EVERYBODY should bring their own
bags of cloth or of paper.
2. Bring a reusable bag to fill with bulk goods,
fruits and vegetables
As you've probably noticed, nearly everything you buy in the grocery store also
comes wrapped in plastic. Whether it's putting your fruits and vegetables in
plastic bags, buying your rice or pasta in a plastic bag or (get this) the
plastic lining on cans, the stuff is everywhere. One way to partially avoid
this is to, once again, bring your own bag. Now I so far haven't quite managed
this, so I am presently reusing plastic bags, but one day soon I am going to
make some small cloth bags to bring to the store across the road, which sells
grains, flours, granola, nuts, and much more, in bulk. You generally don't
actually need to use a plastic bag for fruits and vegetables, at least not if
you are buying a small amount like I usually am, but if you do I'm sure cloth
bags could be fashioned to fulfill that purpose as well.
