It's Earth Day today, just in case you haven't been keeping up with it. Our friends over at Not Martha have a great way for you to celebrate today and do your part. It's the RUMe grocery bags, which stands for ReUseMe, and there's even a chance for you to win some (you have to go to Not Martha.com to find out how).
I know that reusable grocery bags are not exactly a new concept. Every grocery store I've been to lately is selling their own, but the RUMe bags are so much more stylish, don't you think? Not Martha gave them a great review as far as comfort and practicality go, so apparently the bags are as functional as they are stylish.
Even if you already have some reusable grocery bags, these might make a great addition to the team. Also, they'd be a great start if you don't have any reusable bags yet. If you shop at Whole Foods Supermarkets, you're going to need them. You have heard that Whole Foods isn't going to offer plastic bags anymore, as of today, right? Happy Earth Day!

These are cute, and the idea of bringing your own bags is great. BUT what would be even more effective to the point of reducing waste is to use bags you already have. I can't think of anyone that doesn't have tote bags, gym bags, book bags, etc lying around that would serve exactly the same purpose. Ever since the Anya Hindmarch I am not a plastic bag crap, seems like a lot of resources are being used to produce these bags that are rapidly themselves become disposable fashion statements.

olee's points are well taken but everybody's got to start somewhere and something that will roll up tight and be ready in your purse is a fine idea. You've got to have them with you to use them.
I myself am sorely tempted by these good looking bags but I have 10 year old bags that I am able to roll up tight and keep in my purse. Like my AmEx, I don't go anywhere without them.
