BYOB

Eustis Grass Roots just posted about how silly it is that we still use plastic bags at the grocery store. Take a looksee.

There are jazillion reasons why reusable shopping bags are way more boss than plastic ones. Here are two of my favorites:

1. Grocery totes rule. Evidence:

2. Sea turtles are adorable. And if fewer plastic bags wind up in the ocean, it means that fewer sea turtles will munch on them, thinking that they're jellyfish.





I play this game where I see how long I can go without taking a plastic bag from any store. So, it's not the most thrilling game ever, but it helps me remember to bring my bags because I want to beat my own record (two and a half weeks, ahem). And it's more useful than Lego Star Wars or Scrabulous, so lay off.

In any case, get you some grocery totes if you don't have some already. Because plastic bags are just stupid.

  1. have I mentioned how much I love thee? because I do.
    you know what ticks me off though, is when the people at the grocery store totally ignore the fact you ask for no plastic bag no matter how hard you insist, or that they look at you like you just fell off of Mars because of it.

  2. I should buy that Cow Hugger tote. I didn't like the style/color of the tees, but I love the design.

    Plus, I could always use more totes.

  3. Sea turtles are adorable. You ever notice that when someone buys a goldfish they send it home in a plastic bag? Seems like there's some irony there somewhere, but I can't find it.
