Reusable Shopping Bags


While at the store the other day I was scoffed at by a cashier when I handed her my reusable cloth shopping bag. She said something to the effect of, "Do you really like those? I hate them!" Well, here is my answer, Yes, I really like them.

Reasons:

1. They are more durable. Every time I get plastic bags there always seems to be one that falls apart, throwing my things literally everywhere... There goes my soda rolling away.


2. Plastic bags seem to reproduce in my house... I feel guilty throwing them away and so they collect. and collect... and collect. Until I have tons of them and have no idea what to do with them.

3. I can fit more into a reusable bag and throw it over my shoulder. Quick and easy...

4. I can use them for a variety of other purposes.

5. When I go to the mall I only need one bag... usually I can fit everything from any store in one reusable bag... eliminating the 4 or 5 I may have been carrying around.

Today, you can buy your own at practically every store out there or you can go to Greenopolis and buy one.
