I'm a lazy woman, well I like to say a little un-active, but I like to do my part for the environment. I make cereal for my family for dinner to cut down on using the stove ... that has to help in some regards. And being the mother earth helper I am, but also lazy, I find these cute little bags that can carry a heavy load a must buy. I've given them a fare beating, in one bag I've held a gallon of milk and half a gallon of apple juice without that painful feeling in your hands that plastic bags can give you when things get too heavy.

Also, they are washable, and I've made one a must to just carry my fresh greens in. Ok, so I do cook, but in my defense and my family's horror, I don't cook well. I really have stopped using plastic/paper because of these and what these can't carry, I take a cute little shopping car around with me.

A few month ago, I had a cloth bag for the same purpose but it was too cute and I decided to use it for a purse. That sucka didn't make it three weeks. These nylons bags are stronger and so far seem waterproof, one of my kids made a lovely accident in one and I was able to get it home for a quick wash without spillage.

Highly recommended. I am so gonna go sing Kumbaya with Joan Baez while hugging a tree ... or maybe take up smoking.
