Paper or Plastic? Fabric! Many around the country, including myself, are answering the Green Bag Lady's call to "go green" by shunning plastic bags. If you sew, this is a great way to use up that fabric stash. If you don't sew and live in The United States, send me an email with your name and address, and I will mail you one fabric bag (limit one request per household.) The only catch is that you must promise to use the bag everywhere you shop!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Join the green bag movement! Reduce waste by reusing fabric shopping bags (email me for a FREE bag), and recycle the plastic bags you do have by donating them to a thrift store or dropping them in the plastic bag recycling container at your local Walmart or grocery store. Reduce carbon emmissions and save money this winter by turning your heat down a notch or two....I turned mine down 2 degrees and put on a sweater and thick fuzzy socks. Recycle your unwanted clothing, coats, books, furniture and household goods by donating them to a local thrift shop, and be sure to keep a record of what you donate--it's tax deductible! Or, host a neighborhood swap meet or hold a neighborhood yard sale. Every little bit helps!
