If I didn't have plastic groceries bags for my trash I'd have to buy new plastic bags for that purpose.

Reduction is the best key to this problem. Recycling should be seen as the last resort in the 3 approaches to consumption and waste: reduce, reuse, recycle.

Even though I switch purses or bags all the time I ALWAYS have that bag with me which is great because I usually never know when I'm going to pop into a bodega to pick something up on the way home. I get my groceries delivered and the come in boxes that were going to be thrown out anyway. I've considerable reduced the accumulation of bags in my apartment. The only thing I can't get past is take out. It gets delivered in a plastic bag and I don't really know how to avoid that.Ms. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155034683547876756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-22299965062180130062008-12-30T11:06:00.000-05:002008-12-30T11:06:00.000-05:00As a reasonably recent convert to using reusable b...As a reasonably recent convert to using reusable bags for shopping, I understand that not driving in New York complicates the carrying of them for unplanned shopping. I'm in Chicago, and most of my canvas bags are stored in the trunk of my car when not in use. But I do have a thin, collapsible cloth bag that I stuff in my messenger bag that travels with me when I'm taking public transportation. Also, the French used to have string bags for shopping, long before the whole idea of "green" existed; these would squash down to nothing and could get stuffed in a pocket. These would be perfect for New Yorkers, I think.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-83155163247465869242008-12-30T11:00:00.000-05:002008-12-30T11:00:00.000-05:00Love your final comment and shame on plastic bags....Love your final comment and shame on plastic bags.Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.com
