The most popular New Year's Resolution at Treehugger: To actually carry and use a reusable shopping bag! This is an easy way to help save the environment. By now everyone knows that plastic bags kill sea turtles and other swimming creatures, and paper bags (even recycled ones) kill trees. Plus, both create toxic chemicals when they are manufactured and shipped across the country.
Reusable shopping bags are the best solution. They are compact, easy to carry, and some are even stylish! At Hoopla Traders, we sell reusable Chico bags for only $5 (3 for $10). They fold up into a pouch with a clip to stash in your bag or belt loop. Many grocery stores sell large canvas shopping bags that you can leave in your car for your weekly grocery trip. Start now, develop a habit, and save some trees in 2007!
