The “paper or plastic” question continues to swirl. The plastic bag
people say they’re saving trees by not using paper bags. The paper bag
people say they’re keeping plastic bags from getting into the ocean and
harming the fish.

Just buy your own bags and bring them with you. The typical shoper only walks out with 2-3 bags, and that is because the paper/plastic bags are weak and aren’t built to hold enough products. So buy 2 study bags and use on your convience stops.

So when you opt out of a newspaper and phonebook, sometimes they will still send it anyway. I will check with local authorities but i am pretty sure at that point you have littered on my property. If i started a campaign to pass this, do you guys think this would be a good idea. I think it is horrible that they sometimes still send it anyway. This should be a littering fine of 250.00.

Now by no means am I endorsing this product nor does this have ANYTHING to do with saving paper, BUT its a perfect way to save some of mother natures excess acid rain, for a not so rainy day - yeah bad joke.

Basically its a barrel that you stick at the end of a gutter spout and the rain water that collects in the gutter pours into the barrel. There is a spicket that you can attach to a hose and thanks to Sir Issac Newton and his Law of Gravity you can walk away and not pay for this water.

This is the stopMyLocalPaper.org blog, it was designed to create a cyber-place that people can learn to live a greener lifestyle. Our hope is that this information spreads, and spreads quickly. I take my dog for a walk everyday, sometimes 2x - and seeing newspapers that have been sitting there on a driveway, sidewalk, and sometimes a stray paper in the street. Well, this isn’t such a service to stop eye-sores on my daily walk, but a service to stop newspaper companies from creating wasteful resources. I hardly read the newspaper, because if I want the news, I’ll check it online, or watch a local channel for an update.
