One of the best days of the year, Earth Day, is when everyone can step back and look at their impact as global citizens. It’s a day you can ask yourself, ‘What can I do better?’ or “What can I teach my children?’. Earth Day always stood out to me as a child because our school would get into it and create fun projects centered around eco-mindedness. I didn’t have an ‘earthy’ focus at home {even though we composted, recycled, used minimal water/ac, etc}, so Earth Day was always exciting and an excellent reminder for me to do more than the bare minimum, which I’m sure many other children feel the same way, today.
We didn’t start reusing bags in our family until I was in high school. I spent most of my childhood knee-deep in those petroleum-based grocery bags we thought could be recycled. Our produce always had its clear bag to separate them from one another {I’m still shocked to see how many people use those for items like lemons and oranges, which have unique ‘shells’ to keep them separated from the rest, to begin with :P}. One of the easiest eco-swaps we can do as consumers is to shop with reusable bags. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t go to the grocery store or run on an errand where I need a bag to put my new belongings. Also, if you’re a mom, your need for space dramatically increases. Not only can I use this tote for my shopping, but I can throw in Elliott’s things and still have space to add more.
I’ve been carrying this tote with me everywhere {nice to have on hand in your car!}, and it’s rare I don’t get asked “Where did you get this!?’” or “What’s this made from?!”.
