A Month of Reducing - Reduce Plastic Bags

I thought I would have a different theme for each month and include a 'tip' for each day regarding the month's theme.

November is Reduce (from Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), so here is Day One...

Reduce the plastic bags that come into your home. Do you really need a bag for that one book or CD? What about groceries? Canvas bags are very durable and cheap too (thrift stores usually have a good collection of suitable totes). Some grocery stores have incentives when you bring your own bags. You can buy shopping bags, lunch bags, and even reusable produce bags at Reusable Bags.com

Feel free to send me your Reducing tips.
