Plastic bags end up as litter that gets buried in landfills taking up to 1,000 years to break down, and in the process separating into small toxic particles that contaminate soil and water. They also kill thousands of marine mammals every year because they’re mistaken as food floating in the water. Not to mention, the production of plastic bags consume millions of gallons of oil that could be used for fuel and heating.
Paper bags, which many people consider a better alternative to plastic bags, carry their own set of environmental problems. According to the American Forest and Paper Association, about 10 billion paper grocery bags are used each year in the United States. Which adds up to a lot of trees!
There is a solution. Embrace in inexpensive, eco-friendly shopping bags for a brighter ecological future. Grocery stores benefit when you don’t use plastic bags, so they’ll sell bags cheap, or give them away. Trader Joe’s sells them for a dollar and Whole Foods sells them for $2 plus a 5 cent refund for bringing your own bags. Keep everything in the reusable bag until you reach the car, then transfer your goodies into a special bin or set of bins in the trunk.
If you’re not a fan of carrying grocery brands and logos on your bags, you can buy from online retailers:

According to a survey conducted for Shop.org, more than 96 million people are expected to click, search and browse their way through online holiday shopping on Cyber Monday! So where do you begin? Here are some tips for online shopping, and hopefully, to alleviate some stress.
Compare prices. Use a site like Extrabux to compare prices, find coupon codes and get cash back for making your purchases.
Look for free gifts that you can turn into presents. For instance, you can receive a nice set of hurricane candle holders with any men’s or women’s fragrance purchase of $30 or more at Ulta.
Use Internet enabled phones. Technology is our friend! There are apps that will turn your camera into a barcode scanner, and in a matter of seconds it will scan the barcode and return information about pricing from any number of different online stores. I have the iPhone app called “pic2shop” that does exactly that!
Search for online coupons. Check out these links for deals exclusively for Cyber Monday!
Happy shopping!
