HCC FYEX 100-114 Sustainability Project
This blog will act as an online journal for my class to share their experiences as they participate in a sustainability project. First, they will recycle an old t-shirt to create a reusable shopping bag. Second, they will use their t-shirt bag instead of a disposable bag every chance they get for the month of October. Each time they use the bag, they will record their use on this blog. At the end of the month, we will see how many disposable bags they saved.

final post
I think i saved 6 bags this time period.My job is now selling bags... that are recyclable..I actually brought one and i will start using it. Im happy to help the world by not using as many plastic and or paper bags. I encourage other people to use recycle bags.
the bag
i let my mom use my bag when she came to work.She went through my store(davids natural market) and picked up some cameo apples..and used my bag. She thought it was a good idea. Were doing something right.
used my bag again
well, i went to target to get some lotion and i used the bag. Its easy to put in my tote bag and carry around. No one looks at me weird because most people have their own bag as well... i hate that stores give out bags like its not something that we shouldnt use...
The final post!
I saved about nine bags within this whole month. The hardest thing about using the t-shirt bags is that you have to remember to bring it when you go out. If I didn't forget so much about it, I know I would have saved a lot more bags. What I gained from this experience is that even though we did a small change, we have still help protect the Earth one bag at a time. I think this experience has helped me make a long-term behavioral change. I say that because with all the information that I have learned about becoming eco-friendly, I want to save Mother Earth. I have passed my information onto my family and they have made t-shirt bags too!
Final Blog
I saved 7 bags this mounth. My biggest challange was to remember to take it with me into the stores. The esayes part was when i could just put my things in while shopping. From doing this i gained an ecofriendly and going green experience. I feel like i just saved the planet and made all of us live longer. I think this experience has helped me make long terms goals to use reuable bags in the future.
