concerning plastic waste,
attempt to intervene with small step,
nothing drastic such as some
granola types would conjure
in organic cotton
and same Birkenstocks
they wore in college, but still,
the knowledge that
my grocery bags would choke
the fish and birds, pollute
the land and ocean set the notion,
stirred emotions,
prompted me to purchase
cloth bags, intention to use just them
until they fell apart and then buy more.
No need to ask for paper bags
(there's problems with
those too, you know)
and it's a good idea, not monumental
but a start in right direction.,
a bit of forward thinking.
Putting things away just now
it's obvious upon reflection
that my noble plan will only work
when someone thinks while
back at home to take
the bags along to store.
