I am happy to see a lot of stores in my area shifting to paper bags -

My city has a beautiful park which used to be a municipal waste site (not sure if they buried everything deep or what)

When I was away on a trip ( to a developing country) recently, I was happy to see that an initiative had been started at the ground roots level to ensure residents separated their paper & plastic vs dumping it all in the trash -

Small changes but then again a very long way to go...
