I bought 3 sachets of coffee and 1 small bag of dried mangoes in UP coop this afternoon. After I paying for it, the cashier handed me a small plastic bag with my purchases inside. I removed what's inside, put them inside my bag and handed the plastic bag back to the cashier and said:
"Wag na po ate, sayang lang nung plastic."
After seeing what happened, my boyfriend said:
"Ang bait mo naman."
I actually felt proud of myself for an instant but then I felt sad thinking that things like that should not even be such a big deal. Everybody should be doing it. I mean, how much do you really need a plastic bag to help you carry small things you can even place in the side pockets of your bag?
I used to think of myself as someone who cares for the environment. But when I thought about it, the only good things I do is not littering and following the recycling labels on trashcans. That's why I decided to write this blog as an attempt to do much more.
I'm aware that I'm not a very good writer but it doesn't take big words to express what I want to say so I might as well try. :D
