Whole Foods is getting some celebrity help with reuseable bags

We've heard a lot about reusable grocery bags this year. Not only did Whole Foods stop supplying plastic grocery bags on Earth Day this year, but the city of San Francisco banned them as well.

There is certainly no shortage of reusable shopping bags out there, but Whole Foods is rolling out one with some celebrity power behind it. The organic grocery store chain has teamed up with Sheryl Crow, who designed the new bag. The bag features the design of a tree with some of Sheryl's words on it and is made from 80% post consumer product.

I think I'll check it out next time I'm in Whole Foods. What do you think?

Like I would buy one just because a celebrity scribbled with crayons.

I HATE getting my one (1) bottle of dish soap in a single bag when I'm buying a whole load of groceries. Not to mention, you put the plastic bags in the trunk and stuff spills all over as you drive home and the load shifts.

Didn't Ms Crow do some GIANT hair dye endorsement for Revlon - Gee that's a really fabulous eco-friendly product that Whole Foods would NEVER carry?
