Day 1 of my blog.

What if we all REALLY cared. I mean....what if you went shopping and everyone carried a reusable bag? Would it make you feel good? No? What if everyone who had a plastic bag collection of a bag in a bag in a bag stored in their kitchen cabinet actually didn't. Did you know that you could save BILLIONS of plastic bags ending up in landfills every month in your county alone?  Would it make a difference?

If we all really cared, we would all do our part to eliminate waste. Like using an EZGrocerybag made of RECYCLED plastics so that plastics don't end up in the ocean so that fish, turtles, birds and marine life didn't try to eat it and die.  Few care. And of those few, you find people like this:

People who open stores selling things without any packaging, the way we used to before marketing. I make my living as a marketing professional...and I design and make stuff that people throw away.
I get sick of the billions upon billions of pieces of plastic that McDonalds gives away in their Happy Meals, all of it is trash within weeks. For what? A temporary smile from a child? And plastic bags, why? So we can carry our stuff to our car and then end up with closets full of useless plastic? 

If the Plastic Bag Industry cared, they would begin coming up with a way to create bags that biodegrade. Like bags made of corn. Or, they would create a plastic bag made out of recycled plastic bags that we WANT to take back to the store.

Why don't we? We're lazy. Period.

Did you hear that?  We are so frickin lazy that we don't even get up out of our chairs to turn the TV channels.  We use a remote. We don't get out of our cars to order food, wash our car or close the garage door. Most people would drink from a plastic bottle and throw it away instead of using a reusable cup or canteen (50% of Americans still don't recycle. Fernley, NV doesn't even offer recycling for instance.)  I'm guilty. I'm one of you. But the difference is, I did  something about it.

I created EZGroceryBag.com to make a difference.  Who bought them?  In 10 years, who bought them?  Who cared that we were spending more to re-use the plastic waste and make something that would eliminate more trash that pollutes our water and kills our wildlife?  In 10 years....40 people cared.  Today, I have hundreds and hundreds of bags that sit there in my garage. My goal and purpose was to make a difference. So today, on day 1 of my blog, I am giving away my bags. You pay shipping, but they do no good for the environment if they are sitting there. Go to EZGrocerybag.com today, contact me and get your FREE bags. This offer is good until they are gone. Hopefully, by Earth Day, Feb. 2016.  But you have to promise to use them. Together we CAN make a difference.

BE the change you want to see in the world. I have.  I'm one of the few. I tried, but no one cared, so I lost thousands of dollars trying. But it's not a loss for the planet. I still made a difference. Every person that uses my bags saves approx. 7 plastic bags a week. That's 336 bags a year. Over 3,500 bags in 10 years. Imagine. Imagine if everyone cared how many billions upon billions of bags we could save from landfulls, and how many animals lives we could save?  You CAN make a difference. Just make the change. Or, are you too lazy to bring a frickin' reusable bag into the store? Humans disgust me. Greed and laziness runs our country and trickles down.  Politicians sit on their hands while special interest groups pay them to support their companies. Just like Plastic Bag industry Lawyers are hired to fight the cities that fight to ban plastic bags so that they can continue to pollute the earth when we all know well enough that we can reuse our own bags.

I'm disgusted.  Just take my bags for free. Use them to make a difference. I've already lost my money trying, but I will continue to give to do my part to save the planet. Won't you do yours? Is it too much to try?

Your reward is Peace of Mind.
