say no to plastic!

Here's a simple and excellent habit to get into. Carry a foldable cloth bag with you so wherever you go, so that when you next buy something, or go food shopping, and they try to foist a plastic bag on you, you can say no!

Cloth bags can be found on sale all over the place, or why not make your own? Go to this fantastic site for information on sociable guerilla bagging. It even includes a pattern and simple instructions for making your own. And never fear, the bag IS strong enough to hold your shopping. The bags made from this pattern have been tested on bottles of wine.

As for me, a very good friend gave me this lovely bag which not only saves the earth or innocent sea animals from choking on plastic, but draws compliments from all who see it....
