My Total OMG Moment

So, you know how you go to the grocery store? Or Marc's? Or the drugstore? And they put like, 3 lightweight items per bag, sometimes maybe just 1 item in a bag? And sometimes they will double plastic bag say, oh, just a lightweight box of Kleenex and an apple? And sometimes your thoughts are kinda in the distance, not really focusing on the mad baggery that is going on? Well, *I* haven't focused. Until I got home to unpack my groceries and I end up with 6 items on my pantry shelves but 93249083 bags. Ok, maybe not THAT many bags. Just yet. But I totally had an Oh. Mah. GAWD! moment when I cleaned out the drawer I mindlessly shove these plastic grocery bags into. And the images above is what I pulled out; mounds and piles and piles and mounds of these nasty little bags.

Hello, this isn't 1983 where maybe we all didn't know about the huge impact these grody to the max plastic bags were having on the environment. It is 2010. We all know better. So get yourself a recyclable bag! Almost all stores carry them, for a nominal price. Not only are the good for the environment and drastically cut down on plastic bag waste, but they also make carrying your groceries easier AND more stylish. Case in point? The fabulously stylish Envirosax and they can be purchased right in Lakewood, and the uber cool GreenSmart Gifts (www.greensmartgifts.com), located at 14354 Detroit Avenue (right across from Lakewood Hospital and right next to the nomtastic Aladdin's.)

Go stylish! Go Green!
