May's Green Challenge: Choosing a bag
Earlier this month I asked everyone to join me in giving up plastic bags and remembering to bring a reusable bag during shopping trips. Last week I wasn't doing so well but I'm making the grade this week. I even earned some extra credit the time that I forgot my bag and carried my many purchases out cradled in my arms. I looked rather strange.
Today I wanted to plug some of my favorite reusable bags. There's no reason to buy a new bag when you probably have plenty of backpacks, shopping bags and pillowcases in your house already but if you want something special, you might want to check out the fashionable options below.
In the meantime, keep up the good work. Has anyone tried bringing their own bag to Taco Bell or other fast food joint? Not that I would ever eat at Taco Bell (nope, not me, not ever).

I know the chico bags get allot of coverage, but these have always been my favorite:

The handles are long enough to go over your shoulder and they have a zipper, which I like better.

How many times do you get caught short - finding/buying stuff unexpectedly and having no bag? I recommend ONYA bags
http://www.onyabagsusa.com/
They are small enough to easily carry around all the time and surprisingly spacious.

Better yet, make your own bag(s) from discarded fabric. The magazine "Ready Made" Feb/Mar 2008 issue has simple instructions for making a tote. Great for taking an ugly bedsheet or windjacket and giving it a new life.
Simple sewing is all it takes.

That sounds like a really good way to reuse sheets. It'd probably work well with shower curtains too in order to keep them somewhat leak proof.
