Bag lady

My friend had canvas shopping bags in her car yesterday.  I will admit that while I have had good intentions, no canvas bags adorn the seats in my car.  Today, or the next time I go shopping, I will buy canvas bags and no longer contribute to the waste that plastic bags cause in the world.  Plastic bags may be outlawed in many states soon but are paper bags that much better?  Yes, they are easier to recycle but reusing canvas eliminates waste and recycling costs.  Plus, it is easy to do, particularly if you remember to keep the bags in your car.
