Using lightweight, reusable shopping bags made of recycled materials is pretty standard practice these days, but it's nice when bags you use all the time have a bit of style too. I like these bags made of recycled newspaper (from the Arts and Leisure section, so they're colorful too).

Sometimes when we are in a rush doing grocery shopping, we tend to just put all of the things together. That is no good. It will ruin some of the stuff. When buying groceries, avoid cross-contamination by placing raw meat, poultry, and seafood in plastic bags and keeping them separate from other food.

Old habits die hard, and sometimes those that die the hardest are the ones we just don’t realize are simple to change. Saving the world sounds like a job for superheroes, but all it really takes is small steps in changing habits that are simple to take.

Whew.  Saturday marked the last day of summer school I will ever attend.  One more quarter and I’m done with college.  I’ve started cleaning out my bookmarks, and I have SO MANY.  One of the websites I bookmarked was Baggu.  They are sturdy reusable bags to replace grocery plastic and paper bags. 

Cities like Seattle and San Francisco (okay, just those two, but I'm sure Portland and Eugene are working on something) have recently taken steps to either discourage or out-right ban plastic shopping bags from being used in retail locations within city limits.

One of the things i like about the Hemp fiber in bags is its sturdiness. Hemp bags tend to be stronger and more durable than cotton bags, and some canvas bags. At OkoBox, they feature a reusable hemp grocery bag which apart from being sturdy is priced very reasonably at $8. The design it not bad either.
