Eco Living for 2010
2010 is here! What have you set your mind to achieve this year? To practice eco living or to begin this path if you haven’t even started at all. Yesterday I read in the local papers that few supermarkets have begun their eco friendly campaign by having ‘no plastic’ days. The intention of this move is sure good but the companies have not done enough to inform their customers which led to many frustrated faces.
‘No plastic’ days are becoming popular among retailers too though some customers still feel that it won’t be fair to tuck their purchases in their own bags when they had paid lots of money for them. It takes a long while to educate customers to practice eco friendly principles when they are not accustomed to this awareness. My uncle went to buy some discount cigars and he expected them to be packed nicely in a bag. He would be upset if they told him that there wasn’t any packaging for them. Some retailers start to use recycled wrapping papers for their customers which are good options to promote green living.
This year, we hope to continue our green living journey. For a start, we have begun using fruit enzyme for our household cleaning instead of harmful detergents. It takes some efforts and time to walk this journey but the results bring inner satisfaction as we become more socially responsible.
