Thank you!!
It's a reusable bag, but one that folds into a small square -- perfect for tucking into my work bag.
On my way home, I stopped by the grocery store to grab just a few things. As I was there, and my list went from turkey to tomatoes to lettuce to granola bars, I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to get it all home. Don't get me wrong - I have no shame whatsoever about waltzing down the street carrying a head of lettuce. But my catch was bordering on the limit of what my arms could carry (that link is to one of my very favorite posts from Kerry and Erin's anti-plastic journey).
And then - dah dah dah DUHM - I remembered that I'd tucked this:
into my bag. Yes, that's the same picture, but it's so beautiful, don't you think? And, yes I've blogged about this awesome contraption before, but since it totally made my night, I figured it deserved another shot.
*While we're on the subject of carrying heads of lettuce down the street (sans bag), I just want to note that among the health and conscience benefits of Plastic Dieting is the fact that it works your confidence. I'm a stronger human for not caring at all if people think it's weird to carry around lettuce without plastic. I think it's weirder to carry it around IN plastic.

So the other day I was at the grocery store checking out (with all my veggies on the belt since I never use plastic bags for veggies)... I put one of my reusable bags up at the front of my groceries and then quickly unloaded the cart so that the other bags would be out. The cashier still decided to use plastic. When I transferred my groceries to a reusable bag, I gave him back the plastic. He THREW the bags AWAY. I actually asked for them back so I could take them to the plastic bag recycling at the front of the store. I was appalled.
