i am not a plastic bag


since the campaign to go green, eco-friendly, not to use plastic bags, Anya Hindmarch's bag "I'm NOT a Plastic bag" was a hit last summer. Whole Foods Market, one of the leading supermarkets here, a seller of natural and organic foods was selling this canvas bag for $15 but it went fast with people standing in line outside of the stores in the rain just to purchase this bag. It became a big hit that it became a fashion for many.

I was one of the many (but i was not one of those who lined for 3 hours outside the stores). I went to whole foods here in jersey to try luck my but nada, tried online, none! A did not give up..went to ebay...bid...pray, pray and pray that i will outbid other bidders...and yes, the item was sold to A for $50!!(with shipping na 'yan).

i'm going to use it again this summer, it's so roomy and weightless. i am always asked by people, "where did you get that bag?"...

Today I took an old purse that I know I was saving for some purpose and cut out elbow patches for my wool sweater. There is so much we can do to reduce wastes in our communities if we just use our heads and hearts. What do you do to reduce wastes in your life? People Power Granny challenges you to keep up with me in reducing wastes while increasing recycling. Mother Earth depends on us, and so do our grand kids. Share what you're doing?
