I’ve created a sustainability challenge called Use reusable bags for one week. It’s very easy, and only takes a week to complete, but makes a very important impact. The huge number of plastic bags being used every day is extremely wasteful. It’s so easy to always keep a few reusable bags in your car in case you might stop by a store.

I encourage everyone to join the challenge, and to invite friends and family, especially those who don’t normally think about sustainability. Since the duration of the challenge is only a week many more people would be willing to try reusable bags.
