49 plastic 8 paper
Only one month into the new year and we are up to almost 50 plastic bags turned down! Isn't it amazing. We have been using the green bags for awhile - mostly to stop the clutter, but I had no idea what a difference they were making. Seriously trying to add the shopping bag to my line of organic cotton products. At 15-30$ a yard for the fabric, price has been an issue. Something to work on. Maybe bamboo or even reclaimed fabrics. If I could get large enough scraps from shops or designers that might work. They wouldn't be organic, but if they are headed for the bin and I can find a happy use- it might work out. Ahhhhhhhh....more research.

OOHH! Oohh! Reclaimed Fabrics! That's a great idea! It's the one fabric that's EVEN MORE ENVIRO-FRIENDLY than organic!
Put up a WANTED on your local Freecycle and see how much free fabric you can get! You'll be saving it from the landfill AND lowering your overhead at the same time!
Thanks for the tip. I am looking into Freecycle right now! Getting excited about creating a one-of-a-kind line of shopping bags.
