More often than not, I'm crossing the threshold of the store, kiddos in tow, and then I remember, but I definitely go back. Farm Fresh will give you 5 cents off for every reusable bag you use when you check out and I think Trader Joe's and The Fresh Market have some kind of incentive, too. Plus those bags can hold more stuff, I think, which is what we end up coming out of those stores with anyway -- more stuff.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047619856144475098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119890713839035972.post-79385680777878995762010-02-25T20:22:41.065-05:002010-02-25T20:22:41.065-05:00Elliot, thanks!

I just get visions of the great Pacific garbage patch when I think of it, which really disturbs me. If we can make that kind of negative impact on the planet in such a relatively short amount of time, it's past time for us to start doing things differently. Ultimately, whether my trash is tracked or not,I'd like for there to be less of it to track in the first place, feel me?Denisehttp://itsnoteasyraisinggreen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119890713839035972.post-51307617551713770802010-02-23T20:05:09.356-05:002010-02-23T20:05:09.356-05:00great post!

I wonder if we'll be able to track this someday like what Microsoft Hohm is doing for energy consumptions (you can now publicly see it by zip code) I know a local High School in Issaquah washington partnered with MIT to start tracking trasha and where it goes. It would be interesting to do something of the same with such a common item such as plastic bags.elliotthttp://www.elliottlemenager.comnoreply@blogger.com
