Commentary about Austin's Environment

Austin’s environment should be more important than what it is now days. I completely agree with the article, people should take this serious and stop messing with Austin. I would prefer the stores to forget about the plastic bags and start using only the reusable bags. Stores need to start charging for plastic bags in case people forget theirs. But there is other ways to take care of the environment and “go green.” We can start at home, just by simply taking shorter showers or skipping the bottle water and buy a reusable one instead.

I don’t really think people would take advantage of the reusable bags to steal from the grocery stores, if we think about it, people does that already, so I don’t see why start using reusable bags will have any cons.

I think Austin needs more “go green” campaigns. Just like the Austin’s environment article states, “The more people are educated, the better because it can spread throughout the local community and it will eventually turn into something bigger from there.”
