I luv the confused look I get from a bag packer at a store when I say ‘I have my own bag’. It’s like i’m asking him to give up his job at gunpoint. I’ve even noticed cashiers smirk at me when all my stuff doesn’t fit into my cloth bag. Its like a ‘Ha Ha…I told u so’ face. There have been times when packers have put my pretty cloth shopping bag into a plastic bag and given it to me. So much for environmental awareness.  Give it a minute and watch the packing trend we follow here. There is a new bag for every 2 items!

Once I get myself out of the store I always meet cynics who think there is a perpetual comments box available to them “How does it matter?..Everyone does it anyway!”.  “This is an oil rich country..who cares” and of course my favorite “You’re just doing it because you think it’s fashionable!” WHAT?!!!

I wish it were fashion because then more people would be doing it.
