Weekly Eco Tips
August 24, 2009Eco-tip of the Week: June 16-June22
Our first week on the road has taken us from Hanover, New Hampshire to Durham, North Carolina.
Eco-tip: Visiting the Cradle to Cradle certified company IceStone in New York made me think about ways to go beyond recycling. The first two that came to mind are using a reusable cloth bag for shopping instead of paper or plastic and using a reusable water bottle such as a Nalgene instead of a disposable plastic bottle. The world uses more than 500 billion plastic bags annually and 97% of them are not recycled. By banning ultra-thin plastic bags from its stores, China saved 1.6 million tons of petroleum and reduced plastic bag consumption by 66%. Try to use reusable cloth bags for all of your shopping needs so that next time the cashier asks you: "Paper or plastic?" you can say "Neither."
