BYOB - eco-chic reusable shopping bags

These friends of mine started this company out in BC; Bring Your Own Bag. I really want to help them push things forward, so I’ve included the link under the "Links" sections of this blog.

Please help by buying a bag. It is small local businesses like these that need our attention and support if we are going to make a tangible and sustainable difference in the way things are getting done.

Capitalism can work better (or at least more sustainably) if we:

Buy local
Buy whole
Buy at real value (vs. economic manifestations of perceived value)
Buy what we need vs. what we want and want and want...

...and maybe look good doing it ;)

Thanks to Liz and Jenny for making it happen.

Let me know if I can help.

Now I pack by myself all my stuff I am buying at the supermarche. I spend at least 1-2 bags instead of 4-5. Plus, recently I've bought already the reusable shopping bag... I am sure I won't need any more in, at least, 6 months from now ;)
