They roll up to the size of an eggroll and snap closed! I carry two in my purse at all times so there’s no excuse for forgetting my bags!

I just heard that our Vons grocery store will be charging for it’s plastic bags. I’m not sure if that will include all Vons stores or just the store we use but it sounds like a great incentive idea for reusing your plastic bags. IKEA already does it for theirs.

I walk daily along the Los Angeles river and frequently see plastic bags filled with personal garbage pitched into the river (along with a phenomenal amount of large furniture and other disgusting items!). Not only does this river flow directly into the Pacific Ocean but I’ve been told the number of ducks, egrets, herons and hawks along with other wildlife who make this river their home has drastically reduced over the last ten years. What can I do to help clean this river up? Will plastic bags ever become biodegradable for those who don’t care?

We use grocery bags that are green and get plenty of stares at the stores.

The user named “clear perspective” is acting on behalf of a plastic bag company and posting that link everywhere on the Net. The truth about plastic bags is that they’re a poor use of a very valuable resource (oil) which we need to create good things like solar panels.

Bring your own bag!

Readers of this blog are way ahead of the curve (50% carry their own…that’s great). But how often do we find ourselves needing bags and not having them? That’s why I think the key to fewer plastic bags is to make reusables more convent. I tried some bulky canvas bags and found myself without them all too often. But recently I found some bags that hold a lot, but squish down super small: Breezy Bags (http://www.breezybags.com). I ALWAYS carry a set of 5 in my purse and hardly know there are there. Never finding myself without my own bags is a great feeling!

[...] According to the site, “Recent changes in plastic bag legislation across the U.S. has made reusable bags more popular. Additionally, many countries around the world have enacted bag laws to reduce their citizens use of disposable bags. Grocery chains across the nation are also incentivizing reusable bag use, providing donations to charitable organizations and/or refunds on purchases.” [...]
