not a plastic bag

It seems to be the trend now for malls to discourage the use of plastic bags by offering you a chance to redeem a fabric shopping bag for a minimum purchase of a certain amount.
Nice going. I really like the idea. I redeemed one recently from 1 Utama. Granted it’s not the best looking bag in the world but it serves its purpose.
The biggest challenge remains to remember to bring that fabric bag with me when I hit the mall. I seem to keep forgetting! and I’m sure everyone else does too.

Plastic vs reusable bags must be in the air — I just posted about this too on my blog. I saw some cute Baggu (Japanese?) bags that fold up into a little pouch. I figure tiny bags I can stick in my purse are my only hope. Even with the best intentions I still forget to bring bags with me.

Hey Jen, thanks and welcome to the ‘forgetful’ club. I’ve just gotten one of those foldable pouch ones and was going to post a pix of it.
