I’ve been at it for a while now, and it’s going better than I thought it would. It has become a habit to bring my bags in with me when I go to the grocery store. Today, two separate people saw my bags and said, “Good for you!” And the lady who checked out before me also brought her own bags. The U.S. is behind the times, but I think this is going to stick this time.
Then I got another piece of good news. Ralphs gives me 5 points for each reusable bag I use – each time! That’s a nickel for each bag each time I shop! Cool!
The next green endeavor on my mind is solar power for my house. This costs a lot more than my reusable bags, so I don’t think it will happen as quickly, but I’ve started my research and I’m determined to make this thing happen. But that’s another post.

do you wash your bags in bleach after each use? do you have cats or dogs around your bags? do your children use the bags? do you mix chemicals in your bags with any kind of food? if you answered no to any of those above, you could be making other people ill with your bags….think about the cashier that asks you how you want your bags and most people say i dont care fill them up. i always ask you want me to mix chemicals with food? customer says: sure their packaged good. so example is: diswasher soap always leaks out the bottom of the box, sure mix it with my kids oranges, wake up people your going to make new dieases in the world for your family and the cashiers and all the customers you walk by in any store with your i dont care bags.
