RE: Little Changes, Big Difference: Reusable Bags
They're definitely wasteful, and it's so easy to see them as just a little thing because they mash up so small. It definitely adds up, though. It's good to hear it's making a difference there. They are getting ready to ban them here. I can't wait. We have way too many turtles and other marine mammals here for that mess. I loved my keychain bag and used it for years until it started shredding. So glad you enjoyed the post.
Oh yeah, I bet Belize could definitely use that ban. Litter can get really bad if left unchecked, and I see recycling as necessary. I need to go find a place to get a nifty keychain bag too c:
Indeed. People still throw shit out the windows here. It's awful. I used to see those keychain bags at health food stores. God knows what they charge for them there, though.
One benefit of having tourism as our main export I suppose, there are hefty fines for throwing things where they shouldn't be. True, every time there's a good cause, someone is making money on the side!
Its a huge thing here too, and the biggest complaint of tourists is trash, but its so hard to change people here.
