That is...........Bring Your Own Bag!
My friend Teri from Clean Green Moms got me started on this pledge!
As some of you know, Leonardo Dicaprio's new movie sponsored by Shaklee is called the 11th Hour and his mission is to start educating and promoting people to go green - he is requesting individuals to make a pledge. His pledge is to start making a small difference by cutting plastic bags out of your life (BYOB) Bring Your Own Bag with you to the grocery store, farmers market, and retail stores. Not only will you be reducing the amount of plastic you are consuming but you will be showing fellow shoppers, and store owners how easy it is to stop using plastic.
He says.....Pay attention to all the other plastic that you are consuming in the form of beverage bottles, food wrapping, product containers, and toys. Take it to the next level:1. Bring your own mug to the coffee shop.2. Use a reusable water bottle.3. Buy beverages in glass and products packaged in cardboard or some other renewable resource. Our planet is choking on plastic, but you can make a difference.
You can sign this pledge - I did (I am number 1752).
