Re-Useable Shopping Bags

[AnnieBikes]

I am a quilter and have made a bunch of bags over the years. I never get plastic at the grocery store and these are great. They are definitely kept in my car and I leave them near the back door so I remember to put them back in the car.

Here is a link I found for all kinds of different bags. If you plan to stuff them and they are heavy, I would use webbing all the way around to the bottom. Look at them and find one you like. There are some really simple ones and some more elaborate ones, but I really like the #10, using a heavy fabric, denim (recycle old jeans), or canvas.

First, AnnieBikes, that's a great link. What interesting ideas for fabric use.

Second, today I went to the Greenmarket and as I was passing the compost dropoff area, I noticed two reusable bags that had been used to transport compostible stuff. I suppose they are sturdy, but I doubt if they are washed off and reused.

Alas, the moral dilemmas never end. I stopped short of retrieving them.
