I would like to adapt an environmental awareness idea to our cooking blog. There are many ways you can create environmental awareness. Even in cooking you can do this. We need to take care of our earth. We cannot continue polluting. We can start this by recycling plastic bags or just not using them.

My idea to create an environmental awareness is that instead of using plastic bags (ziplocks) for cut ingredients or processed ingredients you can use bowls or containers. You can also use containers for sandwiches or snacks. I normally do this always. Instead of using ziplock bags for my sandwiches, my mom bought containers that come for sandwiches. This way we are not throwing away excess of plastic bags.

We can also use containers instead of plastic bags for other things other than for sandwiches. They can be used for snacks and salads. The last example is that you can use containers for sauces, pre- cut ingredients and raw spices. If we all start using these ideas we will help keep the earth clean. Not all only are we helping the earth but we are helping ourselves. Hopefully we will alluse this idea and reduce, reuse and recycle to help clean our earth! (:
