I don’t really consider myself an environmentalist. I participate when my city holds its biannual recycling day and I will shred and recycle papers if it’s convenient.
But recently I’ve started taking my left over plastic bags to the grocery story for recycling. I think we all wonder sometimes “is there something I can do with this plastic shopping bag besides throw it away or use it to line the trash can?”
Almost all stores have the large recycling bins outside the front door where you can easily drop off your unwanted bags. It may be a small gesture, but I feel like I’m doing something to help the environment.
