How much plastic are you adding everyday?

Just yesterday evening, Greeny met a friend while he was buying fruits. Greeny was happy to see that the friend had carried a bag for shopping. But then, the vegetable vendor put the fruits in a plastic bag and the friend put THAT bag inside his own! He looked and Greeny and said sheepishly, "I just got the backpack. I should have brought a plastic bag also. I will do that from next time.
Later Greeny went to his friend's place and both of them together counted how many plastic bags he had accumulated over the days. And had added one to the count!

They counted as many as 64 plastic bags, of all shapes and sizes. All perfectly suited for bringing vegetables, fruits, eggs, whatever. Don't believe it? See for yourself.

So this friend has now committed to Greeny that he will see to it that no new plastic bag comes into home at least for the next 64 days.
You think you can do this too? Count how many carrybags you may already stored away. Make a commitment to the environment around you. 
Do tell Greeny - how many plastic bags did you count?
