Why promote this cotton overkill? Cotton is one of the world’s biggest problems, and anything made from it is using up our water.
A number of scienctists and journalists are waking up to this – Louisa Pearson, Fred Pearce, Suzy Khan, etc. The hemp vs. cotton
debate rages on http://www.hempforvictory.blogspot.com
Read and be educated.

Since I never got my “I’m not a plastic bag” I now trot around with my cute chic earth day reusable grocery bags. Be careful they can be addictive.:)

I’m desperately looking for this Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” bag i’m in love with. I live in Barbados, Caribbean and it is not available here. Can you please tell me where I can buy it? Please don’t tell me eBay. My arm is lonely without this bag.

Hey Tiddle,
I love to hear the “not using plastic bags” stories. It takes almost 1000 years for one typical plastic bag to disintegrate. Keep up the good work!

Political correctness is in, and more people like to talk about what they do for the environment (thanks to Al Gore). But when it comes to it, it’s fashion that sells.

I don’t give a damn about fashion statement. I try to do the right thing myself (before people start talking about recycling), and bring my canvas bag (that I’ve used for years) to the market when I buy stuffs. I must admit though, that I can still forget, and I’m too lazy to walk back to the car to fetch it. At least I try to hold everything in two hands rather than using a plastic bag, and dump them back to the car.

Trader Joe’s has this initiative whereby, if you buy grocery without using a plastic bag, they enter your name to some sweepstake or something. Hopefully that kind of initiative would encourage more people to not use plastic bags. For all I know, why would anyone need use double-bag (plastic) for gallon of milk alone anyways? Any adult should be able to easily just grab the handle and go. Talking about laziness…

Hi mum-of-two,
Good question. I tend to agree with you — they can’t be bothered. More than anything else, bringing your own bag into a store involves a conscious and physical effort that’s based on changing one’s behavior. I believe that people change their behavior when either:
a) they have to (ie stores no longer offer bags) or
b) they really want to, and make it a priority.

Not only do many well-intentioned folks forget to bring their own bag(s) into the store, but also, by nature, people are lazy. So the switch to reusable bags will not happen overnight.

There will be a day when you won’t feel like the odd one, so keep up the good work…I’m sure your “model behavior” is influencing those who haven’t made the commitment to bring their own bag yet — but they’re taking notice. I bet that many of them feel like the odd one. Who knows — you may be making them feel guilty — another way to motivate people.

So on many levels, both visible and invisible, you’re doing the right thing, and making positive things happen. Some day soon their inconsiderate behavior will be viewed as both a social and eco faux pax.
