For 3 months now I have carried my own bags out. I make my own cloth bags and roll them up so I always have a bag of any size when I buy stuff. I am proud to say I have been plastic bag-free for 3 months. Then there was today.

My extra bag wouldn’t have carried everything and I was carrying a fluey and fussy Jack, fluey myself and tired from a sprained shoulder, knee, and sore back. Yeah excuses… Of all days to forget my Reisenthal.
Anyway to compensate, I posted 7 Green Things You Can Do Online To Save the World (and some Money too!) on my tech blog to make up for it.
Enjoy!
