Outside of action, communication is a strong tool in addressing the situation. It would be wonderful if commercial enterprises (like Best Buy, Proctor’s, Lake’s etc) could do more to dissuade the use of plastic bags etc (provide or sell cloth reusable as an alternative). Also, if patrons could purchase products in glass vessels (as opposed to plastic….if financially practical). Consider buying things like bottled water (or other bulk items) in single containers as opposed to individual ones if the situation warrants their practical use. Road side or restaurants (with take away) could consider decomposetable wooden utensils as opposed to plastic and cardboard containers in lieu of styrofoam. Anyway, the wheels of change turn slowly but they do roll forward!
