seattle recently passed a law banning free plastic bags--now you have to bring your own while shopping or pay up! i've been using reusable bags for ages now, and am really glad that not only has this bill been passed, but also that the city will provide all residents with their own reusable bags! now there's no excuse! the changes will go into effect january 2009! if you're looking for some great cloth bags, check out fellow etsyrain shop imakecutestuff, and her tote2go bags!

i've been trying to go greener lately, and just became a member of the online community freecycle. since i started two days ago, i've given away vhs tapes, 3 ring binders and an old pair of shoes that were just taking up space, to people who actually needed them! i have been needing a few things, and i posted a request for them... i'm on my way out the door in a few minutes to pick up a new charger for my sonicare that broke, and a AA battery charger for my digital camera! it feels really great to be able to exchange these perfectly good items instead of filling landfills and putting more money into the big corporations' pockets! check and see if freecycle is available in your area!
