    I'm with you! Plastic now gives me the shivers!

    I've become obsessive about my reusable bags. I make sure that I have more than I need, just in case. It has paid off in the long run. I tell cashiers that I do not want any plastic with the exception of a leaky package of meat. I also take mesh bags for my produce, and I've gotten some weird looks from the plastic baggy people, but maybe they'll at least stop and think about why I would bring my own produce bags. My produce lasts much longer when I store in these bags also. Nancee

    I had originally signed the pledge, but did so again with my above message, as confirmation that I need to be twice as responsible!

    I use reusable bags for shopping, and recently ordered reusable produce bags. The only options in produce sections are plastic bags also, and I refuse to use them too, so I will be using cotton produce bags, and at the farmer's market I use a shopping basket and reusable bags. There's no reason for anyone to have to use a plastic bag anywhere, any time!

    I recently took a bunch of plastic bags to the store to be recycled. As I put them in the bin, a woman stopped me and thanked me for recycling. She said that she works for an organization that gives jobs to mentally-challenged adults. They sort the bags that go to recycling. She said I was helping more than one cause that day - wow!

    For me that is a good news. Using plastics should be minimized.
  • Small Victories!   23 weeks 6 days ago
    Where I live, in Edmonds, WA, plastic shopping bags were banned starting at the beginning of 2011. There are still plastic bags for your produce, but no more shopping bags. It's a step in the right direction, hopefully this will take off in more cities and states.

    Found your web site and decided to use a fast read, not what i usually do but nice one. Nice to see a blog for any change that isn’t full of spam and rubbish, and in fact makes some sense. Anyway, wonderful write up.

    Great resources for those of us who care about this issue and want others to as well.

    I am constantly purchasing new enviromentally safe bags, when asked to obtain paper bags most stores don't carry them. I hate plastic bags. I am actually part of a new 'unorganized' non profit group and we are helping cancer patients and their families and providing care packages and information - your bags may be just what we need to deliver our care/comfort packages in while still helping the earth. thanks -

    I havn't used plastic bags for the past 3 yrs. Unless they are reusable ones. I feel Supermarket chains can do better at being GREEN. Encourage the use of boxes to put shopping in. I remember doing the shopping withg my Mother in the 70's and there were boxes everywhere in the store to use instead of bags. Manufaturers should cut packaging down. One piece of beef had about 4 bits of packaging. WHY?

    Ever since I saw a documentary last year on the trash in our oceans, I have been concerned about this issue. Since then, I have adopted a policy of using reusable bags as much as possible. I'm also encouraging others to do so as well. This is a good cause!

    This is such a needed thing. People need to start being responsible for what we do to this planet.

    Hi, I am glad to have come across your site. It gives me hope that more and more people see that we do not need and should not accept plastic bag. I came to live in England with my husband and children 16 years ago from Germany and brought some canvas bags with me. I still use them, now. Back then I could not believe that supermarkets did not charge for plastic bags because they did in Germany. I think supermarkets should never supply plastic bags. A good idea are also bags that can be folded into a little parcel. I always have one or two in my handbag just in case. Let's try and save the planet for our children and grandchildren. Edeltraud

    I have been using reusable bags for years, and I bought them for my mom and fiance and put the bags in their cars, so they can't say "I forgot". I have recently taken it a step further, getting muslin drawstring bags for bulk items(like rice, beans, almonds, popping corn) and produce to eliminate plastic packaging or produce bags. They work wonderfully, I recommend trying freecycle to get them, or ebay, or make your own.
