But I am glad to say that I reuse the same plastic bads and dispose of them in a safe and eco-friendly manner. I think every one should do the same.

I always forget to take my own bags with me, so end up with loads of plastic bags." I think more people are feeling conscious of the situation, but it hasn't yet reached the point where people grab their own reusable bags as a matter of course. Hopefully we're not far off, though! <em>Martin's latest blog post: <a href='http://theuniversityblog.co.uk/2008/01/16/a-lack-of-future-for-books/' rel="nofollow">A (lack of) future for books?</a></em> One of the comments I regularly hear now when I take bags shopping with me is, “That’s really good of you.

I especially like the recycled bags from 1 Bag at a Time and the canvas bags from Trader Joes because they both have a gusseted bottom so they kind of stand on their own to make them easier to load stuff into. The main trick is to load your boxiest items on the cashier's counter or conveyor first since they pack faster & easier than odd-shaped grocery items. Cloth bags are actually much, much easier to carry into the house too since they usually have nice, wide straps or handles. <em>Rob O.'s latest blog post: <a href='http://www.2dolphins.com/2008/01/january-blogtripping.html' rel="nofollow">January ’08 Blogtripping</a></em> We finally got enough cloth bags that we can carry 2 weeks worth of shopping home from the grocery store without a single plastic bag!
