Environmental tip

Tie a knot in all plastic bags before disposing of them. Knotted bags are less likely to blow away. Also, animals are less likely to climb inside and suffocate. Birds and other animals scavenging on waste tips are less likely to confuse knotted bags with food and eat them. Rather than throwing them away, re-use your plastic bags or take them to places that allow you to recycle your bags. When you visit the supermarket, bring your own bags with you for your shopping.
