Ugh I forgot my bag!

So you know that feeling you get when you're paying for your groceries at the register and they begin bagging...but by the time you look up all your groceries have already been bagged in plastic!!! Nooooo (in slow motion), I forgot my reusable bag!

Ok, maybe i'm being a little dramatic so I digress. But I get so upset when I realize I forget my bags. I hate plastic with a passion . Every Greenista needs to develop that kind of visceral reaction towards it. I mean it's everywhere but if you can try to avoid it, you should.

Having reusable bags is a must. You should at least have one in the car (I suggest 5 in case you do serious shopping) and one small one in your purse, that way you never forget! Reusable bags are now sold everywhere! They can range from $1 at the grocery store to $50 high end (but usually they donate proceeds to a cause).

Here are two of my favorite reusable bags:

This is my cute "Imagine no more hunger " bag by WhyHunger.org ,it was bought at my local Hardrock Casino shop (proceeds go to fighting hunger and poverty):

And this is the little bag you need for your purses Greenistas! It's tiny but it opens up to be a regular sized bag. Definitely one of my favs!

Now start collecting!
