I like the way you speak, yuada!.................
If you really want to do good, reject eco friendly bags as well , as they cost energy and resources to actually produce, pack, distribute, transport, etc etc.........whereas the humble STRING BAG our parents had as the only means of a goods-carrying device, or a host of other 2nd hand bags that are
already made from whatever, and will probably last years before they wear out, is by far the best and should be the only choice.
While we're on the subject of preserving and saving which does make a difference when even ONE PERSON DOES IT,(imagine hundreds to millions !!!), is having a 20 litre bucket near the bath or shower to catch that water we waste while the pipes empty themselves of COLD while getting the HOT we ordered. I have been doing this for years and then use the water to flush the toilet or put on the garden...... Like washing the daily car on the grass with a pressure cleaner which uses very little water. Like saving the washing machine rinse water for the next load's main wash water........... Like making your downpipes fill up ANY sort of 1,000 to 10,000 tank if you cant afford, or dont need a fancy Water Tank, or even use several 205 litre drums disguised with imagination............I've never had to use Mains water to top up my 200,000 litre salt-chlorinated pool in 25 years, heated by an analogue heat-exchange matrix on the house roof.
Like what we ENTHUSIASTS are already doing saving Capris, Escorts, Cortinas , Falcons, Holdens , Panel vans, FX-WB's, 60-78 Valiants, and all the other Classics that would have been crushed and already back as Fridges and other white goods, wasting all that energy and labour it took to make them in the first place, out of parts that LASTED God knows how many times more than modern cars, which seem to have fuel economy as their only "raison d'etre", and maybe over-kill luxury..........all of which loses its "gloss" when they drain the bank account with service charges and spares charges and breakdown inconvenience which always requires a tow-truck, as NOTHING can be fixed "roadside", except a puncture maybe. Also, their "use-by" date seems around a quarter of our old classics ! (Took 2 years to find an affordable used Tranny for a client's 2006 VW Golf about 3 years ago, that orig died after 65k !)
