I love the idea of using your own reusable cloth bags and I think there is a real market for them. But, I would leave mine at home, forget to put them in the car and then end up with an entire cart full of groceries and no where to put them! Also, I reuse my plastic grocery bags. I line trash cans with them and use them to dispose of dirty diapers. So, I kind of feel like I am already doing my part in recycling these very "anti-green" plastic bags. You can read the entire article below.
I like my plastic grocery bags, thank you very much. What do you all think?

Interesting entry, Ginger. Plastic bags are the bane of our existence, wouldn't you say? I also reuse as many as I can, but always have gobs left to recycle...which I do. I'm entertaining the idea of the cloth bags, myself...they have them for sale at Walmart for $1 a bag. If I start buying one or two every time I go, it won't hurt my wallet so much!
I do want to take care of the world around us, but I like my plastic bags, too! Just like you, I use mine as trash bags. I like not having to buy trash bags. Oh, well.
I didn't know that Walmart had cloth bags for $1 each...I might start investing in those over time. Kroger has some, but they were more expensive and not very big. I'd have to have around 30+ for each trip!
