Oh Sundays... it's still part of the weekend, but we spend much of the day getting ready for the upcoming week. This includes grocery shopping...this Sunday was a little different for us though. Sumeet and I decided to trade in the usual store distributed bags for the reusable, eco-friendly bags.
For only $1 each, we purchased a few reusable bags while at the same time doing just a little bit to help the environment. Plastic bags are a major environmental problem (paper bags are not much better) from the manufacuturing to the disposal of the bags. It is estimated that anywhere between 14 and 300 BILLION plastic bags are used in the US each year. Though our switch to reusable bags will hardly make a dent in the resolution, every little bit helps!

Most grocery stores sell the bags, but you can also purchase them at http://www.onebagatatime.com/

I agree Molly, I also just recently purchased these bags at Dierbergs and LOVE THEM! not only can they be used for groceries, but for other random items as well. Eric even uses one for his lunch bag.
