Those canvas bags are pretty handy - when not carrying groceries they're handy as impromptu tote bags - carry your lunch, take your shoes to be shined or any number of things. I love em.

Well when you're used to shopping w/ disposable bags for 80 years, that's a hard habit to break.

we bring our own bag. it's much easier to use the NYC subway with a big shoulder tote than to carry around 3 of their paper bags. And if there is ever any rain, forget using paper.

Because it would be so much better if he used canvas bags and bought non renewable plastic bags for his trash.

Many of the "Save the Earth" types are so hypocritical. It's hilarious; they look down on you for not using re-useable canvas bags, and meanwhile they water their one-acre lawns, drive their hybrids (look at me, I'm polluting less than you!) and have 3 kids.

If people truly cared about the planet, they would go Native American or something. Why not take it to the extreme? Why not move to a smaller house, ride a bike, and have fewer children? Why not turn off the AC in the summer and turn down the thermostat in the winter?

It's like my uncle telling me to stop eating meat because it's a waste of resources and it indirectly results in the killing of animals. But he thinks nothing of paying for termite control and grub control for the lawn. Or living in a 3000 square-foot house, the building of which definitely killed/displaced many animals.

It's annoying when a more "righteous" person judges you, it's hilarious when a less "righteous" person judges you.

This. Or, I go to the grocery store at odd times...like on the way home from work. I would do it, but I can't seem to get my **** together enough to make it happen.

I have a massive supply of plastic and paper sacks at home. My reuse of them doesn't seem to keep up with the supply.
