plastic grocery store bags

Just an FYI, you may be able to recycle plastic grocery bags where you live. I am able to put all bags in my recycling bin each week. Don't forget to buy cloth bags at the grocery stores. Almost all stores sell them now. Trader Joe's has a real cool looking one!

  Great tip! I buy cloth or reuse the plastic ones til they brake.

  Did you know it takes a 1000 years for a plastic grocery bag to decompose? ...Just thought I let you all know.

  yes I knew that, that is why I only use canvas bags.
  
  I think it's like 500 years for brown bag's, ans 1000 years for all those plastic water bottles. I'll chaeck on both of these though.
