Do you get plastic bags from your local grocery store? You can recycle the bags if your local store has a recycle bin for them (if not, go green and ask your store to start a recycle bin). Or you can use these plastic bags in small trash cans in your bathrooms and bedrooms. The plastic bags keep the trash cans clean (keeping gum and other yucky stuff from sticking to the can). But do not use plastic bags in bedrooms with children under the age of five. Tell your children the danger of plastic bags. If they are placed on a head it can suffocate a person/kid if air can't get in.
Need a place to put all your plastic bags? If you get milk in half gallon containers, save one. Wash it out really well and cut a big hole in its side. Put your plastic bags in this hole for easy access. Place masking tape around the hole's edges so you and your children don't cut yourselves when you put your hand in the container.
