Save the planet, one shopping bag at a time

Earthtotes_2 Tuesday is Earth Day and I have to admit I have done little — OK, nothing, really — to be kind to the planet lately. Then I went shopping and as I was asked the question "paper or plastic?" I was reminded that there IS something I can do that could have major impact and that is tell all of you about Earthtotes, canvas reusable shopping bags that will enable you to banish the plastic ones forever!

Go to earthtotes.org and you'll meet for yourself the two moms — Sheryl Steinman and Katrina Andrews — who came up with the idea of selling the canvas bags (instead of gift wrap, candy or assorted other things) as a fundraiser for their childrens' school. Soon, their friends were calling about selling canvas bags as a fundraiser for their kids' schools and before Steinman and Andrews knew it, a business was born.  Both have been involved in show business-related businesses and have other interests of their own, so clearly they knew what they are doing. You can buy the bags for yourself on the web site, or you can get the information you need to set up a fundraiser of your own.  Either way, you're saving the planet — one bag at a time, as the ladies like to say.

I've been using my Earth Tote bags for months and I can't imagine shopping without them! They are also a great deal and hold so much! Check them out! earthtotes.org

Yes, but how can I remember to take them into the store with me? I am forever standing in the grocery line thinking about how I've once again left my tote bags in the car trunk.

Maybe the stores could have reminders in the parking lots... or big notes painted in the parking spaces...
