Baggin' it

One of my biggest environmental concerns is garbage – just the sheer amount of stuff we toss into the trash (or onto the ground) every day.  And, while I’m recycling as much as I can, taking a cloth bag to the farmers market and wherever else I can, shunning paper towels for cloth, and using washable plates and cups for picnics and work lunches, we still get plastic bags during our bi-weekly trip to the grocery store.  Well, no more!  Today I finally ordered a set of reusable grocery bags.  Just 4 to start, but our cart has been considerably lighter during Local Food Month, so these should suffice for a little while – and if not, I’ll buy or make some more… Now the trick will just be getting the DH to use them, too…
