It’s great to have some options other than plastic and these work really well for small shopping trips at least. http://www.remarket.etsy.com

This is based on how slow the US is to follow worldwide environmental trends and also how much Congress sucks, for lack of a better term, right now.

btw, as a side note, the one thing that pisses me off is baggers in markets will use ONE bag for like 2 or 3 items, sometimes 1! I now shop at Trader Joes where I actually save money on food and use the 99 cent bags.
