Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 5: Weekly Update

SMART GOAL

         My SMART goal is to use reusable bags every time I go to the grocery store or Target.   I also added that every time I go to the grocery store I have to buy one organic product.  I did well this past week! I was going home and I was worried about not remember or forgetting to use a reusable bag, but I remembered and used them!

SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES

           Success was remembering my reusable bag when I went to Target and the grocery store. Also what helped my success was going to the mall, and not using a bag at all! It was a small item and I didn’t take a bag, because it wasn’t worth wasting an entire bag for something small! A challenge I faced is trying to find a decent priced organic product, I always go with a budget in mind, trying to stick with it is hard. I usually try different stores to find cheaper organic foods, so that helps a lot!

  FEELING EXPERIENCED

    It felt really good, when I was at the mall and didn’t take a bag, thinking why don’t other people do this? I understand if you have a lot, but then bring a reusable bag, but sometimes they give you these huge bags for like socks…haha.

LEARNED

           I learned that at some stores they ask if you want a bag, which makes me think they are trying to conserve them or not use them. It could be that plastic bags are getting more expensive to buy or they might care about helping the environment.

NEXT WEEK

    I am going to stick to my same plans as the following week with using my reusable                              bags, and 1 organic product when I go grocery shopping.
