Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

reusable_shopping_bag

My cupboard is full of plastic grocery bags, how about yours?  I argue that I reuse them for trash cans, toting wet swim suits and toys to the park but really, it’s getting ridiculous the amount spilling over in my cupboard!

I live in California and my town is actually considering charging 25 cents per plastic bag to deter shoppers from using them!  Guess I better jump on the reusable grocery bag bandwagon along with the rest of you earth wise shoppers!

Here are some of my favorite stylish, reusable shopping bags:
