One Plastic Bag at a Time

I've been getting some email about that there's more to the whole plastic bag thing than just refusing them at the supermarket and everywhere else. That I could use them for other things, and then that would be good for the environment too.

I couldn't agree more! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ... I'm writing about the reducing, but believe me, I'm reusing all the plastic bags I accumulated before I started on this endeavor.

Plastic bags are everywhere in my house - in every wastepaper basket and small garbage can. I use them for kitty litter and for as many other things as I can think of.

But the fact of the matter is that I could wrap every kitty turd in its own plastic bag every day and I still would have tons of plastic bags. The entire space under my sink is stuffed with these plastic bags to the point where I think that they have formed almost one solid mass.

Because at the end of the day, no matter how many new uses you can come up with for the plastic bags, the fact is that we are just using too many plastic bags that are just not necessary.

Except for me, of course!
