D ivas…… Be Green but not with envyJune 17, 2008 By: Selena Dunn
It’s time to reject the plastic bag!
Our world is changing daily and to be Green is to be enviro, which means to be environmentally conscious and politically correct. We Diva’s are trendsetters and we must move with the cheese. Since, Diva’s and shopping are synonymous, to be an eco-friendly Diva, we simply must ditch the plastic bag. The biggest problem with plastic bags is the fact that plastic bags take 100’s of years to decompose after disposal and when it finally does, it become tiny bits of toxic waste that pollutes our soils, waters, and wildlife. Not to mention the countless number of Plastic bag litter that we see floating through the air or stuck in trees, as well as clogging our sewer systems and polluting our waters. Now I’m speaking directly to the Diva’s, why do we collect the nuisance bags that clutter our pantries, line our trash cans, pack our lunches, or worse- carry our other important items (like designer shoes)? Have we really looked at the unsightly ugly plastic bag? It’s really not representative of a Real Diva. Today, choose to make a social statement to the world about our need for a cleaner, greener self-conscious use of re-usable canvas shopping bags. Diva’s can be fabulously fashionable by choosing canvas shopping bags that reflect your personal style and still represent your commitment to our planet by being friendly to the environment. Many major retail chains like Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target, etc…sell their versions of the eco-friendly re-usable shopping bags for $.99 to $1.50 per bag which are about the same size as their standard plastic grocery bag. These bags are great to use, and keep in the trunk of your car or cart for grocery shopping. The larger more fashionable shopping bags are used more for mall or boutique shopping. These are your fashion statement opportunities. Diva’s – be green and let your style be seen.
