This is hard to watch, but it'll sure inspire you to bring your own cloth bags:

That's a good tip, JoAnn. I need to start carrying a stash of them in the car for when I forget!

I usually put my bags on top of my purse so I'm sure to see them and bring them in.JoAnn

Definitely a problem I have, leaving the bags at home or in the car. Usually I will ask for paper if mine are not available. I reuse the paper and I do take all the plastic ones that I do get back to the recycle bin at the grocery store. Hopefully they actually get recycled.

What a great slideshow. Thanks for posting that, Traci! Using reusable bags is so important. And I know paper isn't much better because of cutting of trees- but at least it is biodegradable. So if you totally forget your cloth bags at home- ask for paper instead!

It's so easy, I think the hardest part is just breaking old habit. Occasionally I forget to bring my bags into the store but I've actually had the cashier hold my stuff while I ran out to the car! I had a plastic produce bag that I had been reusing and I went to throw it away last night and couldn't! I just thought of all those bags hurting all those animals and it made me so sad. ThenI got to thinking about recycling and I know that there are so many different types of plastic and not all are recyclable so where do the rest go?

Me too, Juanita. I'm committed to trying to make it a habit!

I got reusable bags of all shapes, colors and sizes... the trick is to remember to take them in !
After that powerful presentation, I will definitely be more inclined to remember!!!!
Thanks

That was very good....I always have my bags in the car...and pledge to use them every time..not just when I find it convenient.!! This is so important..and something easy that we can all do!
