So, How Are You Doing With Your Green Living?

As I slowly and steadily made my way on the path toward earth-based spirituality, habits and practices that respected Mother Earth and nature became part of me. I've always been conservative with utilities to save money. I was thrilled to find out that I've also been helping the environment all these years. Occasional littering came to a halt (my purse and pockets hold trash when there's no trash can around) and I even stopped killing spiders unless they were poisonous. It was only natural to adopt the practice of bringing re-usable tote bags to the store.

And what a process that's been. First, I couldn't remember to put the bags back into the car. Then I couldn't remember to bring them into the store. Then I couldn't figure out how many to bring into the store. I'm doing fairly well with all of that now, but I still forget to hand them to the cashier half the time!

They are a slight nuisance. At least, the ones I purchased from Wal-mart and Walgreen's have been. They do fold up but won't fit in my purse, so I generally carry one with several rolled up inside it. Wal-mart employees look at me suspiciously when I walk in, trying to figure out if I have a return or if I'm planning to shoplift some electronics. On the positive side, I really prefer them over plastic and paper bags. They are so much easier to carry and handle, especially given my back problems. Being able to sling one or two over my shoulder causes me a lot less pain.

So, I'm really thrilled to find these BAGGU Reusable Shopping Totes from Endless.com. They come in about 52 colors, literally! and you can purchase sets of 3 or six and each comes with a matching storage pouch. They're machine washable but putting them in the dryer isn't recommended. Made of durable nylon, they should dry pretty quickly.
