Do you only have one shopping bag?
After reading "Change the World for a Fiver", I have found out I should only use one bag for shopping with. It's called a 'Shopping Bag'. Case: Working near ASDA and getting my lunch every day, this included a plastic bag. I now re-using the old bags I have got over time.
"Plastics, unless recycled are not got for the environment."

Do you use public transport or drive?
If you are travelling anywhere you should consider if you can take another form of transport. For short to medium journeys you can use: Any sort of man powered bike, walking, running or buses. For medium to long journeys you can use: buses and trains. If you can not use any of the following and have to use a car, either get a lift with a friend or provide a lift to a friend, it uses half the amount of fuel!
