I’ll be heading to Whole Foods to pick up some essentials, but I also want to check out their first-ever, designer reusable bag, which launches in-store today. Made from 80 percent post-consumer plastic bottles, this Better Bag features Sheryl Crow’s words, (I love my home…planet Earth. Every bag counts), written specially for this project. Created to help shoppers reduce consumption while raising awareness for the NRDC’s Simple Steps program, this handy tote comes in two sizes — large and small — only 99 cents and 79 cents, respectively. They’re ideally suited for lots of other purposes, not only trips to the market. And, if it wears out, they’ll replace it for free.






















Wow, only $.99! I wonder where its made that it can be so cheap. I will find out soon enough. :)
Well, the best deal is at Fred Meyer, part of the Kroger family. You get a nice bag that holds 6 bottles of wine in divided sections for FREE…well, free with purchase of 6 bottles. Hard to beat that!!
And remember, Oregon starts charging 5 cents (refundable) for each of the zillion plastic water bottles that are sold each year. Yes…bring your own.
Happy New Year!
