One of your best defenses against plastic when you are out and about is to bring your own bag. We already touched on this during grocery week, but I wanted to bring it up again because it is not just groceries that come home in plastic bags when you are shopping.
Today’s Challenge: Bring a reusable bag with you everywhere you shop. There are some nice packable bags available that fit easily into your purse or car glove compartment. This United By Blue bag even comes on a carabiner so that you can clip it onto your purse and make it more visible to use. It takes a bit at first to remember to use your own bag, but after a while it will become a habit. I keep my grocery shopping bags together in the car, and carry separate, packable bags with me in my purse and in the diaper bag so I always have one just in case for other types of shopping.
