Bags, towels, paper

Are you still using plastic bags to carry your stuff to work or a college (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">school</em>)? By the way, a canvas bag is much more effective and <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">it</s> looks better because it <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">even might</s> could/may even be (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">become</em>?) the highlight of your individual style if you add something special <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">as</s> like a colourful or <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">embroidery</s> embroidered pattern. (Try: <em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">A canvas bag is much more effective and looks better. It may even become the highlight of your individual style if you add something special like a colourful or embroidered pattern.</em>) Canvas bags can be used longer than plastic ones and they’re washable. There are so many advantages to get (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">getting</em>?) these bags!

The artificial fibers of wet towel wipes don’t decompose but (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">yet</em>?) we only need them for a couple (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">of</em>) seconds and then throw them away. Their alternative was known several centuries ago – a handkerchief, which can be moistened with an antiseptic and when it becomes dirty one can washes it.

The irrational usage of paper in our electronic age is terrifying. <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">In </s>One office, depending <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">of</s> on the number of employees, <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">it</s> may take (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">use</em>?) from 10 to over 500 packs of paper annually; whereas, 17 packs of 500 sheets each are one tree (..., <em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">whereas</em> <em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">one tree is 17 packs of 500 sheets each</em>). Why do we still produce printouts and copies if (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">when</em>?) the information can be stored on electronic media? It also makes sense to abandon the reminder stickers because there are many convenient apps for smartphones and laptops.

Stationery such as pencils or pens don’t belong to disposable things (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">aren't necessarily disposable</em>?) but they also quickly end up in a bin. From this perspective, it’s quite possible to reduce the environment footprint if you use <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">the</s> stationery made from already recycled materials.

Reducing environmental impact always starts with thinking. Unfortunately, we do so many things automatically but not consciously. We buy one more bottle of water, we prefer take-away (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">take-out</em>?) food in plastic containers and don’t refuse to get one more plastic bag in a supermarket <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">automatically</s>. However, it’s worth starting to think about such things and it (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">doing so</em>?) will be the beginning of your input in improving the environmental situation on (<em style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">of</em>) the Earth.

Thank you for your help!! =)
