Wow – what a fabulous post. Same thing about my husband — if he is out shopping that is a miracle in himself. I’m not going to insist he take in cloth bags to make the miracle turn into Christ ascending into Heaven.

That said, any plastic bags in our house come from him or from the few times I’ve left my cloth bags at home. We use plastic bags in a trash can at the top of the stairs we I throw dirty diapers from both the girls. This is a great alternative to actually buying a Diaper Genie or similar. My first Diaper Genie smelled horrible quite quickly, was a pain to change and required those $6 inserts. What a waste. And it’s just cheap plastic anyway – another thing I don’t want in my home.

So I just use the old-fashioned method – a trash can with a plastic bag.

Carla here is a great site for cloth produce bags with a drawstring! ecobags.com, very reasonably priced too. Kirsten sorry your hubby is not on board yet, have faith, my husband never used to remember to take the bags into the store, now it’s a new habit.

I like to crochet cut up oplastic grocery bags and crochet tote bags from them. It is very easy and the instruction can easilt be found by searching the internet. I use the tote bags for groceries.

Many of the stores we frequent doesn’t offer plastic bags and they are banned in San Francisco (right across the bay) altogether. My weakness is the plastic bags for produce at the stores and farmers markets. I haven’t found a good solution to that yet… Carlas last blog post..Green and Chic Updates | Free Shipping
