If you’re like me, you’ve compiled every last one of your folding reusable bags , and keep an arsenal by the door.

If you’re like me, you’re transferring them to the passenger seat of the car when you head out.

If you’re like me, you’re stashing bags in your purse each time you brave the holiday madness.

If you’re like me, you’re offering up reusable bags to cashiers at non-grocery stores who are completely and totally befuddled by your request (even though the store sells their own reusable bags!)

Are Reusable Bags Really Better for the Environment?

Not too long ago the Wall Street Journal published and article called An Inconvenient Bag.  The article talks about the reusable bag movement and questions this latest green trend.  While the article points to many valid and important reasons to replace paper and plastic with reusable bags, the argument against reusable bags seems to have gained the favor of the blogosphere and led many to question whether this is just another case of greenwashing.

It’s absolutely true that not all reusable bags are created equal.  Some are made locally , some are made overseas, some are organic , some are hemp , some use pesticides, some are made from post consumer recycled materials and some are even made from virgin plastics that may or may not be recyclable.

Thinking About Reusable Bags – A Message to Cashiers and Baggers

Some didn’t see it coming, but the reusable bag movement has hit us like a big green tidal wave.  Isn’t it time for retailers to implement better training to effectively promote this important trend?

While it’s up to the consumer to bring their own bag, cashiers and baggers are the next line of defense in reducing wasteful plastic bags.  Whether it’s the grocery store, the corner store, or the mall — retailers are the key to breaking the plastic habit.

Making Reusable Bags a Habit!

Earlier this week a survey in a USA Today snapshot poll showed some interesting statistics.  Readers were asked how often they “Bring Their Own Bag” to the grocery store.  Here are the results:
10% Always
19% Frequently
32% Occasionally
That leaves almost 40% who NEVER bring their own bag.  It makes you wonder — will the mainstream public ever catch on the  Bring You Own Bag movement?

As we are educated about the problems with global warming and our dependence on fossil fuels — we becoming more aware of our countries tendency toward over-consumption.  This over-consumption means more factories producing more and more products, which produces more and more pollution.  While it’s hard to convince American’s to ‘want less’ — there are many things we consume that are actually easy to give up.
