Woven Bags, Shopping Bags, Reuseable Bags...

Not recycleable bags, not paper bags, but REUSABLE BAGS!

Here I go again, attempting to tip adsense's sense: I'm not promoting P-L-a-s-t-i-c bags, nor am I pushing p-a-p-e-r bags, but I'm calling for REUSING your SHOPPING BAG!

Specifically: has anyone here been to France? In France, or at least traditional France, era 1994, when one went to the market (those cute little traditional French markets) one took with them a bag: a cloth bag, a woven bag, a hemp bag, a string bag, some kind of bag!  They took it with them, and every time they bought something, they put it in the bag.
Market + veggies = reused shopping bag.

In the US, when we shop, we get a throw away b-a-g, paper or plastic, single use, etc.  That's BAD!  It's WASTEFUL and bad environmental skills! Bad Shopper!  Bad! BAD!

What we need is a revolution in consumption: REUSEABLE SHOPPING BAGS!  now I'm gonna google to see what I can find!

Purpose of this blog

This is a rambling clearing house of ideas and guerrilla tactics to encourage the use of reusable grocery bags and curb the use of plastic and paper grocery bags.
 
That's all I want...

Reuse Your Fucking Shopping Bag!

Americans are such pigs! In every aspects of their lives, they just live completely self-centered, piggish habits! For example: today, in the grocery store, it's SHOPPING BAGS! The rest of the world: when you shop, you bring a bag. You reuse it. You bring it over and over again. You don't chalk that simple component of your life -shopping for food- up to yet another example of wasteful consumption.

In the US: you shop at the grocery store; you get your goods stocked in TWO paper bags -double plied, so they don't break, boo-hoo-hoo-fucking-hoo. That's a tree fallen just for you.
How many trees are turned into grocery bags for the fucking piggish American, who can't even bring a bag with them and reuse it when they shop? Millions of Americans shopping every day. Fucking pigs.

This is a website about reusing shopping bags. We gotta do something about it....
