We have become so used to carrying stuff in plastic bags that it is difficult to imagine life or shopping without them. At the same time, most of us realise the fact that plastic is non biodegradable and the environmentalist in all of us feels low each time we take a new plastic bag.   

Well, it is true that we need to carry groceries from the super market and sometimes paper bags are just not enough. Fortunately, some companies understand the guilt factor that builds among most of us and therefore have introduced green plastic bags which are reusable and environment friendly.

You can also try to recycle plastic bags using these ideas. I am sure most of us would be doing this already, but this list is compiled to sum up many things at one place:

•Old plastic bags can be used as liners for dustbins in office or homes. You will save the need to wash trash cans every time it is emptied.

•Custom plastic bags can be used to cover your furniture when going out for more than few days. The major benefit is that you will be saved with the trouble of washing linen used as a cover.

•A plastic bag can also be used to pick waste, especially if you have a pet.

•Another way to recycle plastic bag is by using it as a baby bib. However, be very careful and do not leave your baby along for even a second while using a plastic bib as babies are habitual of putting everything in their mouth that is within their reach.

•Say no to plastic bags at grocery store, carry them from home and reuse.

•When on vacation, you can use plastic bag to store wet bathing suits and towels.
