Eco bags

I am such a butter brain, I always forget to bring my reusable bag with me to the supermarket! I was at IKEA today and bought a really L-O-U-D one (bright red with a busy pattern) for $1.50. I figured that way I would see it and remember to take it. I'm going to try and remember to put it right back in the car after I've been to the supermarket. IKEA also sells zip top bags for a sack of cat box filler, made from recycled materials. I like that idea because it would make it easier to get the sack from the car to the closet.

I put mine right back in the car after I've emptied them in the house. If I didn't do that - I'd never remember them either!

I use plastic bags again and again - I put two together, that makes them stronger.

I use reusable bags for shopping. When I forget mine at the store, I just push my cart full of groceries outside, load the stuff in the car and bag the groceries at home. I also stopped using produce bags a year or so ago. Unless it's something really small, like loose spinach or green beans.

There's a site that I want to start buying produce bags from called www.ecobags.com. They have small reusable bags for stuff like grains and produce, too.

I also stopped using plastic bags in my small garbage cans. We are required to have our regular garbage in bags, so I can't stop using them in our main trash can.

I use them.

Right now, the grocery stores give you $0.05 per bag credit if you bring your own. It's not a lot, but it adds up.

The city council is considering banning plastic grocery bags altogether or making the grocery store charge you for each bag you use if you don't bring your own.

Nope. Its not that I hate the environment, but I reuse plastic bags. I use them to clean out the rat cages. I bring loads of them to the dog park to help restock the poop bags. If they banned plastic bags I can't imagine how the dog park would look because half the people don't remember to bring them, which is why a lot of us try to keep the park stocked.

I use them all the time! I have at least 10 reusable bags, and 6 foldable crates! In my country shops aren't allowed anymore to hand out plastic bags, so if you didn't bring a bag of your own, you can either buy one, use a cardbord box, or carry everything in your arms
