Bill McKibben, author and environmentalist, wrote an excellent article on keeping the holidays simple and inexpensive.
Anyway, back to bringing your own bag. If you’re the crafty type, you could always create your own. Although I’m into embroidery, I am not too talented on the sewing machine. It doesn’t look too tricky but think I need lessons because I keep busting the needles. Some people do make and sell tote bags that have pizazz. I suppose I could paint or embroider up a plain one.
I would prefer them to have a little personality and color such as Bags by Bernie. The bags vary in price and design but there is something for just about everyone. Prices range from $9.99 to $15.99, which seems reasonable for a personalized bag. There are some with flowers, cave art, birds, dogs, leaves and more. My favorite is this wolf bag which of course is sold out.
ReusableBags.com is offering 20% off for anyone who takes the BYOB pledge at c3.NewDream.org. Shown here is a handmade bag using recycled juice containers. It’s a very creative, practical and colorful way to recycle!

oooh! I want to win!
I carry a mesh-cloth expandable (purple!) one that scrunches down into the bottom of my bag and is always there when I need it. It’s very helpful since I don’t have a car; this way I always have it on me!

Sally, what an excellent idea! I don’t have a car either and if I have more than one bag I feel rather loaded down. Good luck on the contest!
I’m in Canada so out of luck but it’s fun deciding which new bag I will purchase.
