Reduce Reuse Recycle I: Plastic

This will be the 1st edition of a series post about saving our planet.

Come on we must save our planet, in this case from garbage.

Few months ago, in Bandung there are massive garbage "ignored" for weeks that create unclean environment. You can read it here and here

We don't want it happen to our neighbourhood right? So I guess we should do something about it.

Hmm plastic must have big part of those garbage, lets reduce the using. My way to reduce is when I shop, always try not to ask for plastik and tas kresek, always prepare a bag to carry it. This wil reduce a lot. Especially for those who shops a lot, like me who shops for food everyday in food stall. At least I will reduce one plastic bag everyday if I do that always.
For moms who shop at market can also use this way, always bring other bag to put things they buy.

Hmmm off course sometime we cannot avoid of taking plastic bag. So, if you bring plastic bag home, sort it to 2 categories, the almost dirty and the clean one. We can use the almost dirty for bag for garbage or others. For the clean one, we can reuse it, use to shop again, to wrap things etc. And we can also give is to some shop.

My aunt usually collect plastic bag in her house and give it to my other aunt who run a small shop for daily supplies. So did my mom, she give it to some sellers in market near my house. And me, I give it to the owner of my boarding house, they run a fruit kiosk. We will help them for sure. And at the same time we help our planet with just a little effort :D
