The other day I read in the Rocky Mountain news about a proposal from BetterbagsColorado to charge grocery store shoppers 10 cents for every plastic or paper bag they use to carry home their groceries. I think it's a good idea, in Sweden and in other European countries they charge for the bags. We really should be reusing our old bags and bring fabric bags instead. But, I can also understand the opponent saying more people will buy sandwish bags and trash cans bags, because they usually reuse the plasticbags for this purpose. But this is only speculations. By raising 10 cents per bag, it will make people aware of the environment and it will be an ouch in the wallet, but next time you will make sure you bring your own bags. I'm considering purchase one of those bags on wheels, well yes it seems old fashioned, but in Europe they have manufactured awesome cool ones, they look real hip. I'm sure I can find them here too. I will start looking.
Today's tip: look into your closet and see what you can find to carry home your groceries.
