One of the first and easiest changes we made was refusing plastic bags at the store. We picked up several reusable bags and have almost always remembered to use them. It takes time to establish new habits but I keep them in my car and even if we forget to bring them into the store, we can quickly run back and grab them. When I have accidentally left them at home I will carry my items if I can, otherwise, I will ask for a paper bag. Did you know that Target gives you a discount when you bring your own bag? It isn’t much but I think it’s a nice gesture on their part. The good thing about reusable bags is that they hold more, they don’t cost a lot, and they don’t end up in the ocean being mistaken for jellyfish by beautiful sea turtles.
