It has been our tradition
to attend the New Year’s Day mass. Unfortunately, we are 2 hours early before
the first mass starts. We just prayed and our give thanks for all the blessings
that we received in the past year and for giving us another prosperous year
instead of waiting for the mass to start. Then we headed to the nearest mall
for the kids to enjoy the said day.
After enjoying the carousel
and remote controlled cars, we had to go to the supermarket and buy some items
for home.
While waiting for our turn
at the counter, I saw that all of the groceries were placed in a paper bag or
boxes instead of the usual plastic bags. There I remembered that New Year’s Day
happened to be on Wednesday wherein the supermarket held their environmental
campaign – “My Own Bag” Day. Every Wednesday, they only provide paper bags or
boxes instead of plastic bags. Also, they encourage buyers bring their own bag
(plastic or recyclable) to place their purchases.
This made me thought that I
should always have my own recyclable bag in my car. So, whatever day I go to
the supermarket, I have my own bag to use like these burlap tote bags which can be
used repeatedly instead of plastic bags. It gives me convenience while saving the environment.
