Pledge to use cloth bags for a month instead of plastic :) Sign up and get 20% off at www.reusablebags.com -- they have a lot of terrific stuff, including my awesome market basket that I always get compliments on! Most grocery stores sell reusable bags for $1-2 each if you don't already have a stash, or you can check out directions to make your own if you sew. (I have directions on my own site too.) In the interests of full disclosure, I use my cloth bags 95% of the time... the other 5% is for when we're totally out of plastic bags at home, and DH likes to use them to line the kitchen trash basket... or when I forget to grab one from the trunk when I'm shopping. I hate using them at all, but at least the ones we reuse end up "merely" in the landfill and not blowing all over the landscape like so many.

Great suggestions!

I make my own totes and sell them at Etsy. I love that basket though! It would be perfect for trips to Target.

I <3 my basket -- I'm ordering a second one, they're so handy. You can get it for $10 less at "Sur la table" but I feel better shopping at reusablebags.com because I'm dumb that way :Lol:

What's your Etsy shop name?
