I bring my own fabric bags, re-use any shopping bags I happen to have, and watch the grocery clerks carefully – asking them not to use any bags for large milk containers, detergents, packaged produce (such as potatoes or apples), etc. It would make a huge difference if supermarkets would train their employees to “think green” and conserve resources by not mindlessly bagging everything. Kudos to the communities that are charging customers a few pennies for each bag used. The pocketbook is often the most effective way to get people to change habits.

I've been following your posts for several months now and appreciate all your sound and practical advice on going green. I especially appreciate the fact that your comments are useful without being preachy to people doing their best to lessen their environmental impact in a national (and global) economy that promotes the opposite! Your most recent post on concentration is supported 100% by the EcoMomTeam (www.TheEcoMomTeam.com). It is our business, in fact, to show people that there are alternatives to traditional products, and even alternatives to traditional marketing and manufacturing. We partner with a 25 yr. old manufacturing company that has been green since 1985 but has such a unique way of doing business (without media advertising) that very few people are familiar with them. I'd love to share the details with you and get your green opinion! Thanks for all you do!!! Hi Doreen!
