Counting Bags - A Small Step Towards Green

Part of my resolutions is always to move in a greener direction. The whole reducing the impact thing. Last year we started using the cloth shopping bags for all shopping. For my own interest, and perhaps to encourage others to try them out, I've decided to try and keep track of how many plastic or even paper bags I turn down thanks to using the cloth or even just an old bag. I keep some in my car and one in the stroller all the time to make it easier to remember. You would be surprised how fast it seems to add up.
So far, 5 days into the new year, I've turned down 16 plastic and one paper bag. I wonder what the total for the year will be?
