I love that they hold twice as much as a normal plastic bag. I love that it's made from recycled materials. I love that it only cost 99 cents. I also love the genius at my Publix who posted the sign "Forget something? Don't leave green bags in the car!"<br /><br />Did you know that Wal-Mart and Target have reusable bags, too? The Target one folds up into a tiny pouch the size of a eyeglass case that you can throw in your purse. The come in the traditional Target Red - I gave ten away as valentines this year.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SEvgwyopDFI/AAAAAAAAAAs/JSSJrX_SLsM/s1600-h/tgetbag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SEvgwyopDFI/AAAAAAAAAAs/JSSJrX_SLsM/s200/tgetbag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209504522814688338" border="0" /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Ikea is famous for banning plastic bags in their European chains, and charging for plastic bags in their US stores. I bought this amazing bag for only 59 cents. It's incredibly durable; I use it all the time on car trips or as an additional laundry basket</span>.<br /><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SEvhXhmFTLI/AAAAAAAAAA0/CNISyIdmx68/s1600-h/ikea-plastic-paper-bag-ban-us.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SEvhXhmFTLI/AAAAAAAAAA0/CNISyIdmx68/s200/ikea-plastic-paper-bag-ban-us.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209505188255452338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SEvgwyopDFI/AAAAAAAAAAs/JSSJrX_SLsM/s1600-h/tgetbag.jpg"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">On the way to an awards ceremony the other night, I had to make a quick stop at the party store for a replacement table cloth. Since I was only running in and out of the store and then right into the ceremony, I told them to skip the plastic bag. It got me thinking of how often I've run in and out and could skip bags altogether. Or how many times have I come out of the mall with a plethora of plastic bags with only one item in each? Next time, I'll just stuff it all in one.</span><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4068168745883814517-4153053682007425131?l=lindsaysearthday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lindshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698464694493675302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068168745883814517.post-2012930941674106992008-05-14T12:25:00.007+10:002008-06-01T14:49:00.177+10:00Although, I don't want my blog to become a constant product plug, I do want to share information with you when I can. This is my awesome new water bottle. Never have I found a bottle that keeps water cold all day regardless of the temperature outside. Made from a single sheet of aluminum, it's completely reusable and cuts down on waste. It's also BPA-free, and 100% of the proceeds went to the PUR water campaign to make safe drinking water available to children in developing countries.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SDrUFkZi3II/AAAAAAAAAAk/05jGMKOcbnY/s1600-h/pur_tfc_136x389.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SDrUFkZi3II/AAAAAAAAAAk/05jGMKOcbnY/s200/pur_tfc_136x389.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204705511515282562" border="0" /></a><br /></div><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-0dAdZtXvVY/SDrUFkZi3II/AAAAAAAAAAk/05jGMKOcbnY/s1600-h/pur_tfc_136x389.jpg"> </a><br /><br /><br />In addition to being eco-friendly, I love the Obama-friendly slogan.
