Recycling tips for all those plastic bags!
There are lots of innovative things you can do to help reduce plastic bags by reusing – check out some of the tips below to get started.
1. Scrunch them up to surround items when you're packaging as an alternative to bubble wrap.
2. Doggie duty--Use them as 'doggy doo bags' when out walking your dog!
3. Take bags to the grocery store to reuse instead of getting new ones each time.
4. Hand protectors – place them over your hands to handle messes indoors and out.
5. Kitchen clean-up – place them under the cutting board for quick scrap removal.
6. Suitcase savers – wrap shoes before packing them with clean clothes.
7. Fill several bags with food or other items for a needy family. (This is one of the most rewarding ways to use those bags!)
Keep bags handy where ever you are so that when you make a purchase you can reuse your own bag. Where?
*in your car
*in your purse or pocket
*in your stroller
*with your pet supplies

And remember....join the Freecycle™ movement - the idea is simple: you give away for free what you have and don’t need and you receive for free what you need, but don’t have. This ‘free cycle’ of goods keeps lots of useful stuff out of landfill sites and is about thinking globally and recycling locally.
