Changing a habit or a routine can be difficult, we all know that. When it's a habit that has permeated into almost everybody's daily life, it ceases to become just a habit and instead turns into an addiction. Just like stopping any other unhealthy routine, such as smoking or excessive drinking, sometimes we need a little help to break free of it.
The U.S. manufactures an estimated 380 billion disposable plastic shopping bags annually, every adult in this country will use around 500 of them a year in their shopping trips to the grocery store or the mall. The ecological impact of manufacturing those bags has become well publicized but breaking our dependence on them is easier said than done, after all, they are so convenient.
Did you know that a recent study found that 53% of those surveyed owned a reusable shopping bag but 90% of the people surveyed said they don't use it every time they went shopping because they forgot to take the bag with them? Imagine the impact we could have on reducing all those plastic bags floating around in our environment if there was just some way to remind people to take their reusable ...
... bag with them.
Well, now we don't have an excuse because Ecozuri, a start-up company in California, has come up with an ingenious way of ensuring that we remember to use our bags every time we leave the house. Ecozuri created the forget-me-not kit specifically to jog that tired memory of yours and act as a reminder to take your bag with you, and, best of all, it comes free with every chic 100%-recycled reusable shopping bag they sell.
The reminder kit has three memory aids you can use to help prompt you to grab the bag before you leave: an elegant door bag made from natural Jute fabric, hang it on your door and store any stray plastic bags in or use it as a gift bag for your friends and family; a wheel-wrap that you simply attach to the steering wheel of your car (or the straps of your purse or even your refrigerator door handle) ensuring every time you get in your vehicle you remember to be eco-conscious too; an Ecozuri buckle that you can use to clip your reusable bag to your keys (Ecozuri bags are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand when folded and yet, they are strong enough to hold up to 50 pounds.)
So, now we don't have an excuse not to join in the effort to help save this world of ours. Go on, go green and make a difference.
