Environmental Leader reports that effective October 1, IKEA will no longer be offering plastic bags in-store.
In the last year, IKEA has been weaning its customers off of plastic bags, charging a fee for each plastic bag and encouraging the purchase of reusable bags.
IKEA reports that 92 percent of its customers have stopped buying plastic bags. IKEA does not offer paper bags, so starting in October it appears that reusable will be the only option.
It looks like we have got to get serious about recycling. Today I have decided to link you to a web site that is a great resource for finding a recycling center in or near your area.
On this web site you can find ways to recycling household items such as, plastic bags, aluminum, glass, and electronics just to name a few.
I make sure that I take plastic bags, bottles, paper etc. to a recycling center. I know it may not be much or all that I can do, but it’s a start. I would also like to know how you take steps to make the planet a little greener.
Check out the web site and let me know what you think.
