Why don%26#039;t we use re-usable grocery bags like people in Europe do? It%26#039;s so much better for the environment
People in Europe use fabric bags to bag their groceries. They bring the bags with them to the store, put in their items when they are done shopping and leave the store so that they can do the same thing the next time they shop with the same bags! They are so INCREDIBLY SMART. Why has America not caught on to this. Here we are wasting precious money AND plastic(not good for the environment) while they save in more ways than one.

Where can I find some nice fabric grocery bags? I am going to buy some now.
The US is such a better place to live, Europe needs to learn from us. We switched from paper bags to plastic to %26quot;save the environment%26quot;.
AWARENESS ABOUT ENVIRONMENT B,RINGS THIS CHANGE. AS SOON AS THE PEOPLE OF OTHER PART OF THE WORLD GET AWARENESS THEY WILL ADOPT THE SAME METHOD
I use reusable bags whenever I remember to bring them to the store. I think in some places in Europe, they charge for plastic bags, so most people bring their own. So if they did this in the US, more people would use reusable canvas bags.
You can get your own canvas bags at most stores for a dollar.
Some of us do put our groceries in re-usable bags. I found ones at IKEA, of all places, for 49¢ US. Granted, they are large and made of bright blue tarp with metal eyelets, but I am not fashion-conscious.
When I show up at the checkout counter and place my groceries in the bag, the people behind me in line invariably ask where I got the %26quot;neat bag%26quot;. Once they know, they often say %26quot;good idea... I%26#039;m going to get some, too.%26quot;
Green ideas... teach by example.
Because we as US Americans are the
laziest biyotches on the planet.
because we don`t half too, we can make plenty
i%26#039;m glad you%26#039;re doing your share to help the environment. i think major shops are catching up already. they even have rebates everytime you shop with your own canvas bag. happy shopping :)
