I've always been a fan of keeping our earth healthy and clean. We use organic shampoo/conditioner, laundry/dish detergent, and I do try to remember to bring my reusable bags when shopping. Although when I forget, we always repurpose the bag in some way, often as a liner in our small garbage cans. I recycle everything, and literally cannot throw a recyclable in the garbage or else I'll feel really bad. When I was younger, I was "given" a few acres of the rainforest. What that meant was that money was given to prevent a few acres from being bull dozed to herd cattle.
Earth Day is almost non-existant here in Waterloo/Cedar Falls. :-( Altho, the wind turbines are part of Earth Day, no? I miss how environmentially friendly Seattle area is.
I had a problem with forgetting my bags all of the time, too. So now, after I unpack them, I just take them out and put them right back in the car. That way, I don't have to remember.:P
I do the same. They are in the driver door pocket.....can't miss them.
We always use plastic grocery bags as garbage liners for small garbage cans. It's reusable that way and saves lot of money. We save up lots of soda pops to recycle with 5 cents each can. That's how Iowa is.
I kept a few reusable bags in different sizes in my Jeep at all times but I forgot to bring them from there into the stores.I had a problem with forgetting my bags all of the time, too.

We do that, too. Although, not the soda pop cans, if we do then we have to drive to another state to make that deposit!
Australia have that program, too? I'm surprised about that.
Soda pop recycling for 5 cent each depot is the only one in South Australia, other states doesn't have that program.
I like the program I saw in Norway, though.
Anyway, why surprised?
What is the program in Norway?
I visited a friend, who used to live there, and we went to a grocery store and she explained what the machine there were for.
Apparently, it's a recycling machine where you deposit bottles or cans (can't remember which) and you get few cent each for each deposit made.
As for wider recycling program over there, I have no idea.
That would really be convienient. I wish we would do the same here.
They've had those machines in Connecticut for years.I visited a friend, who used to live there, and we went to a grocery store and she explained what the machine there were for.
