Tired of getting a big plastic bag when all you bought is a pack of gum? A 10-piece LA band's taken up your cause! Soul Punk Swing's turned the phrase "I don't need a bag" into a song -- performed last week at Taix restaurant in Hollywood. (via Intuition)
Just say no nicely when you don't really need a bag. For those times you do, BlogHer conference attendees all got a reusable tote this year -- So use it! You'll be joining the ranks of famous fellow BYO baggers such as Diane Lane, Marion McMullen at Pass the Remote points out. If you need more totes, you can find some cute ones made by woman-owned companies here.
Take your BYO bagging to the next level by employing reusable bulk bags for grains, cucumbers, etc. You can enter to win 3 reusable bulk bags from Kootsac, thanks to Amy Purple at purplepinkandorange.com.
Reusing plastic bags, of course, also works -- especially for transporting "wet" produce (i.e. strawberries) and keeping veggies fresh in the fridge, as Umbra of Grist points out in her article today.
If you're still wondering about that paper vs plastic debate, you can find out more about the nitty gritties here. The real answer, however, is just to take your own pretty bag.
