Let's face it, plastic bags are all around us. You go shopping and everything you buy is put in some kind of a plastic bag.
I ask you – what normally would you do with a plastic bag? Place in a bag keeper, drawer, cabinet, etc. and use to line a trash container, line the kitty litter box, put food scrapings in (I typically use a can if it is available), etc.. All completely reasonable good uses for plastic bags.
What should NOT be done?? The ultimate ‘no no’ - throwing it away.
Recycling doesn’t have to be a chore. It can be used as an opportunity to connect with your community, educate kids and students on the importance of recycling, and above all, come together as a family.
Here is an example - I teach a recycle crochet/knit class at a local senior citizen center and am amazed at how much fun both the ladies and men have cutting the strips and looping them together. I can't lay the plastic bags out on the table fast enough. That hour goes by so quickly.

Cutting and Stripping Tutorials are available on my blog.
No excuses - there is no time like the present to start having fun!!!
