Some of my favorite items on my green list is to always carry my own take out containers to restaurants, for coffee refills and use my own shopping bags. Simple acts that are easy to do, raises awareness and inspires others around you who may not have thought to do them. Here's some links that I find helpful to remind me to keep green.

And because I love all bags - whether dollar store, handmade, knit, crochet or sewn- I have to include Envirosax.com. to the list.

There's also a kids and a green grocer series. You will find various prices - and 25% off some of the single bags.
For most of us, going green is like committing to weightloss, once we decide to do it - the results are amazing. Even if we wander off the path, we know that we must jump back on and keep going forward. Just like knitting or crochet...
What a great caretaker you are, knitty earthling.
