PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS

Does everyone hate plastic shopping bags as much as me? I swear, there must be a million in this house. The winter is the worst when the static makes them stick together. I'm overjoyed just thinking about it.

Yesterday, I did something about it. I bought 2 reusable shopping bags from the grocery store for 99 cents each. Each time I go, I get 5 cents back for each bag I reuse. They will pay for themselves in 20 weeks.

So, the items that fit in those 2 bags would have probably taken 6 plastic bags. So, if I saved 6 plastic bags every week for a year that would be 300 bags. Three hundred bags out of a landfill each year from just one person.

Now, that I got all earthy, crunchy on you, go buy some bags and save the environment.
