Yes, that was actually one of the "water wise" tips that was published in a brochure, here, during the height of our drought. :)<br /><br />I use reusable bags for bringing the groceries home, but I do use plastic produce bags for the items I buy, because otherwise, the grocery store finds it hard to weigh the items at the check out stand. I then reuse or recycle them to the best of my abilities.

And that is a useful tip ...That's so very true. And that is a useful tip about the online parts store! I agree about keeping things carefully. <br />Thanks for your comment on my church post. You are very wise and clear. What you said about a restaurant, that's what I've been worrying about. I don't want to feel I want it to be like a place I like visiting but I want it to be a place I can grow as a Christian and serve and know God and the community and it is so hard to know if the church is that place.Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-14508971130680147642018-06-11T11:29:13.898+01:002018-06-11T11:29:13.898+01:00We always keep 4 or 5 of those 10p plastic superma...We always keep 4 or 5 of those 10p plastic supermarket bags in the car, have had them for months, if not years. I have a fabric bag which folds up into its own little pouch which lives in my handbag. We bought some large strong hessian bags, 3 for £10, on a visit to the Eden Project a couple of years ago, these are used for our main food shop. And yes, we should also endeavour to repair or recycle as much as possible. It's up to us all to do what we can to save our planet.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-74813261281216910702018-06-11T07:59:40.548+01:002018-06-11T07:59:40.548+01:00Good idea.

I was just thinking how hopeless a task it is for those who shop in the supermarkets and are obliged to buy everything in plastic trays or bags when it occurred to me that I could take my own plastic bags to buy fruit and veg and keep reusing them. <br />My MIL used to wash her plastic bags and hang them In the bathroom to dry, which I found highly amusing. She did it to save money, but I could do it to save the planet, taking them with me to the supermarket.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
