Use actual bags instead of plastic bags when you do your normal day to day shopping.

Plastic bags are terrible, especially if you live near the ocean like I do. I do a beach cleanup every weekend and there is always so much plastic. We are trying to get my town of Carmel to sign a petition to ban the us of plastic bags. -

Dear Laura,
I must admit that I haven't done a beach clean up for a long time but your post helped me make a new resolution and I am sure I will do it again this summer. I think that the Adriatic Sea (and all other seas and oceans across the globe) deserve much more love then they get! Here are some interesting videos I have just found and I hope you and other students will enjoy watching them.
It seems to me that the last video was made for you. I send you my thank you, too!

Hi, I’m Selen I’m from Turkey.
We can use less water.
we can fill the cold water in a container until water gets hot and we can use it instead of water in siphon.
thank you :)…

Recycling is a great way to save the environment. We can reuse and reproduce the materials that we drink and eat out of. Nowadays, it’s a lot easier to recycle by have a big waste bin just for everything that can be recycled. If you can’t recycle now, you don’t care about the environment, and that’s NOT COOL.

You are so right Ryan. I 100% agree. If you don't use a re-usable water bottle you're also NOT COOL! -

Yes. We should all team up on the non environmentalists that are polluting the earth! They are obviously NOT COOL.

I think this is a great idea, and also extremely clever! I am very curious to know how these cups actually taste. -
Allie L-USA Feb. 9, 2012
That's pretty cool. You can save the planet from plastic waste, and have a snack at the same time. -

It's great idea! I really like this video! You're very creative ;)) One day I hope I'll drink from these cups ;P

My family shops at the grocery store Whole Foods pretty often, and we always come home with tons of paper bags and lots of plastic containers (which are used to store the fresh foods, nuts, etc.). One way my family and I have decided to reuse and repurpose these containers is by putting our leftovers in them. They are the perfect size for a refrigerator and they are easy to clean. We reuse the sturdy paper bags for transporting miscellaneous things when needed.
If you would not like to reuse the plastic containers, you can always recycle them at your local participating Whole Foods: http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/2009/01/gimme-5-recycling/

Another great thing you can do is use reusable bags. They are great for groceries. We also use our paper bags to hold newspapers and cans for recycling.
