I wonder how many
habits have been changed in the last 12 months? Instead of doing what you always
used to do, do you now do something different??
Sound like gobblygook?
– not really it isn't. It's about doing something automatically now that you
did not do 12 months ago.
 | Do you
automatically check if the plastic container has a recycling mark somewhere,
before you dump it in the dustbin (and so into landfill)? |
| Does all waste food
automatically go into the compost box, along with egg boxes and some paper? |
| Are you now
carefully saving tetrapack cartons (milk, juices, smoothies,..) for your
next trip into Kidderminster? – Morrison's have a collection/recycling
point for such cartons. |
| Do you
automatically take your own bags with you when shopping, and even keep one
in the car in case? It is marvellous to notice how many shops now ask if you
want a bag, rather than presuming that you need one, even if the purchase is
so small you can hardly see it at the bottom of the plastic bag. |
| Did you recycle
Christmas paper this year, for use on another occasion? |
| Or use newspaper
for wrapping up stockings for the children? |
| Or use old bits of
material to wrap family presents? |
| Do you
automatically turn off lights in rooms you are not immediately using? |
It all needs to become
second nature; that way the next generation will view it the same way, never
having known anything different.
Is it automatic for you?
If yes, that is wonderful; if not yet, keep working at it!
