Organizing one of our kitchen closets the other day I could not help but notice the amount of plastic bags that had gathered there over the weeks. I actually felt quiet disappointed in myself staring at that pile of plastic bags.  I try to keep track of the amount of plastic bags I am leaving the store with, but it all ends up adding up without me even realizing it.

It’s not like I don’t end up using the bags. I do! I use the bags as trash bags! Still, even though I am using the bags the amount I’m using, as trash bags are far less than the amount I’m getting from stores.  Above that, even the bags I end up using as trash bags eventually go to waist when I throw my trash away.

I want to try and buy one of those reusable bags you find at almost any supermarket. Even though it’s a hassle to always have one around. It will  stop my pile of bags from doubling, or even tripling!
