Ach! I'm ticked at myself! I was doing so well and then the last day I ruined my streak. Kyle had to teach a clinic in Banff this morning so we decided that we would spend the day, and of course a day in Banff isn't complete without a visit to the Fudge Factory.
Kyle was all excited about his almond bark and I about my "avalanche" when we realized that we had no way to carry it. So we had to get a plastic bag. Boo. My avalanche just didn't taste as good....
However I am attempting to rationalize it. Most things in the store are already prepackaged with plastic wrap -- which can't be reused. Our delectable goodies weren't wrapped so the plastic bag was just a substitute for the wrapping, and actually a more environmentally friendly option because it can be reused. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
And when we got home I realized another bag that I had obtained without even realizing it. Five cent candies from 7-11. I'm totally addicted to them and on the rare occasion we go to a 7-11 I always get a dollar or two worth. I didn't even realize that they all go in one of those little plastic bags... Well now that I have one that will become my candy bag for my occasional indulgences. I can't wait to see the expression on the clerk's face if he sees me bringing in my own little candy bag. :)
Well it's time to contemplate the month -- which of course flew by -- draw my conclusions and decide how and if I will continue my plastic boycott. I'll let you know in a day or two!
