not that green

I'm still shaving and bathing and wearing leather shoes. But seriously, the shopping bags. They were driving me insane, and thinking of my own convenience led me to thinking of others and this great beautiful Earth we have. I was entering the grocery store and saw those reusable Smith's bags they have for sale for a dollar or something and was reminded of the cupboard under the sink... overflowing with those damn plastic grocery bags. So, I bought 2 of those bags to put my groceries in that day. The next weekend, Eliza's mom gave me one of the string or rope reusable bags. Now that I am an eco-friendly shopping pro, I realize how annoying those Smith's bags are. They are bulky, not to mention unfashionable. Seriously, they are bulky. The string bag is great for produce, but not for other groceries. I got to looking and thanks to Jessica, yes the BFF, I found the perfect (stylish and convenient), reusable shopping bags. I put the link on the sidebar in fact. www.baggubag.com. They are stellar. I admit, I haven't purchased them yet, but I am going to. Then I can throw away the Smith's ones. Just kidding! I will give them to someone at the checkout. Told ya' I was a eco-friendly shopper pro. Oh, I dug out the old plastic bags to take to the grocery store's recycling center and found they were literally overflowing. I kept pulling more out only to find more crammed behind the pipes, then more behind the cleaning supplies, more in the corner of the cupboard. The worst part, inside each bag... more bags.

I bought some of the bags because I too have found that my locally made stringy ones are adorable, but not all always practical. They do, however, work great at the Farmer's Market. Thanks, Jessica, for the Baggu tip. Oh, and I also will continue to shave and shower and wear impractical shoes. But I will be putting the purchased razors and shaving cream in a re-useable shopping bag. Sometimes going green is all about the compromises, right?
