Lots of grocery stores in this area, but national chains, are giving away reusable bags this week to celebrate Earth Day. A good chance to start to get away from the plastic!;)
Dance to heal the earth. Not just when you're dancing, but always. Live the dance, whenever you move, in all you do, dance to heal the earth.

I think it's time that stores across American stop providing plastic bags to customers, that have already done that in many parts of Europe for many years now. Seems that people don't do the right thing unless they are forced. The only grocery that I know of is in Berkeley, Ca that has done this since 1990, maybe earlier, it's a local chain called Andronico's. Of course Costco doesn't provide bags either and never has.

I remember the first Earth Day in 1970: I was almost twenty-one years old at the time, and I thought that I was living at the dawn of the Age of Aquarius. God help my profound naivete then, but I honestly did...
The informed opinion --- which I have learned from several sources --- is that 1985 was the point of no return, i.e. for the past twenty-four years we have been slipping, a little faster every year, into the bowels of hell. Nothing can stop the death of billions of people now. Nothing. And we have nobody but ourselves to blame for what has happened, since we were warned clearly of what would happen as early as the 1950s. But we didn't give a damn then, and now we must pay...

"Fuggedah about it, Jake --- it's Chinatown!"
The reset will take place.
It is inevitable and justifiable.
Looking back or forward depending on where you are in time the death of billions of people is and will always be devastating….. But also a beginning.
A never ending cycle?
A new chance to get it right ?
Celebrate & Accelerate is the best advice I’ve heard so far.
If there Is an end result. It will be better.
Ohhhhh and Earth Day 1970. Well as I look back the old cliché ( Ignorance is bliss ) says It all
