I love those reusable shopping bags. It makes me feel slightly better about myself for using them. I think “hey, maybe I’m not a total jerk?” I do enjoy the message they send as much as the purpose they serve. In carrying these bags I am communicating to the others around me that in my small way I am trying to do better. It also keeps the conservation movement fresh in my mind and present in my daily life.
The only problem: I constantly forget to bring them with me to the store for one reason or another. When I get to the checkout and have the realization I forgot my bags again, I feel a twinge of guilt over a wasted opportunity.
I found these envirosax and I think they are the perfect solution. They are compact enough that I can put a few in my tote or diaper bag and never be without. They are more pricey than the 99 cent ones my grocery store offers, but the convenience and cuteness make up for the price.

How about this. I REMEMBERED my bag yesterday and Zander was playing with it in the cart and lost it somewhere in the market. I was too exhausted to go back and trace my steps. Hopefully someone else re-uses it!!!

I’ve been that exhausted…more than once. Those are the things I never tell Jason about!
