Reusable Bags, among other changes

Overall, things have been going well. I have continued to eat out less and buy drinks out less, as well as use my nalgene bottle. Unfortunately, there is not anything very exciting to say about those things, as they are just small daily events.

However, there has been one major exciting change recently, and that is in regard to reusable bags. As I said earlier, I have convinced my mother to get and use reusable bags when she goes shopping, which I think was great. However, I still cannot convince my boyfriend, Zach. He is stubborn, and doesn't think it's worth his time to remember them. And since I am just getting used to having reusable bags, it is often not until we are almost to the car that I remember that they are still upstairs. It's often hard to convince him that it is worth the time to go back up to the fourth floor, but I do. So, here is where the exciting change comes. This past week, I was unable to go on our usual Sunday afternoon grocery trip, since I got scheduled to work. And so Zach made the trip by himself. And, to my wonderful surprise, I came home from work to see that the reusable bags got used, even without my prompting! So, I have now officially influenced 2 other people to stop using plastic bags, and start using reusable bags. What a start!
