    I love all your tips! I lived in France for a year, so I got into the habit of bringing my own bags to the grocery store and recycling everything. I’ll have to add a few more of your tips into my daily routine!!

      Wow France for a year. I spent two weeks there and thought it was an interesting place. I still have trouble remembering my bags at the store.
