Like it very much. Please slow it down (10-20%)so we can read and absorb all the information.

Very, very important message. Well done, informative. This infor needs to get into the mainstream.

Good idea and well presented... I'll bring my own bags from now on!

You know my mother told me the other day that there is a grocery store in town offering discounts for people that bring there own bags to put there groceries in. i don't remember which store she said it was though.

This is great! Thanks so much. I'm always happy to find another plastic bag nut like myself. Check out http://www.noplasticbags.blogspot.com/ for news from around the world about campaigns against plastic bags.
Also see http://www.squidoo.com/NoPlasticBags/ for more tips on breaking the bag habit.

Very informative and well-presented. Bring your own bag or bust!

The best thing about this one, is that it addresses an important issue regardless of economic status. What I find is, is that to go "green," one has to have some money, but it costs nothing to reuse a bag. Also, this doesn't just touch on reusing bags for groceries but anytime we spend money. A small canvas bag rolled up fits into most purses / briefcases, so we really don't have an excuse. Well done.

Nice job. Good facts and well presented. Plastic bags suck!
Posted by: Anonymous | March 4, 2007 3:53 PM
Thank you for this fun and easy to follow reminder. It rightly shows that going green is an issue of changing ones frame of mind and actually can be fairly simple. In my country (Denmark) we luckily have to pay for our bags from the grocery store, so that obviously lessons the load (they are also made out of thicker plastic so they can be reused). But cutting the consumption of bags to zero is the ultimate goal, and this message comes across clearly.

very well presented, clear and precise........I will make a more concerted effort to bring my own bag. thank you
Posted by: dale Hughes | March 6, 2007 12:12 AM
But not only can you reuse the plastic shopping bags but the little ones your produce comes in; I use mine over and over, then as trash bags. I never buy trash bags. I also use these small ones for wrapping instead of buying plastic wrap.

Excellent presentation. Pointed out the global nature of the issue. Made me feel guilty about my frequent use of new shopping bags every time I go to the grocery store.
Posted by: Bob Reynolds | March 7, 2007 4:55 PM
I agree with Tom Camarella regarding the speedy delivery of info. A common flaw in informational videos or films.
Posted by: Pierre! | March 8, 2007 11:50 AM
Good video but the voice was too weak- also she was reading. The ideas are great and we do recycle paper bags. Stop&Shop gives us a penny I think and a "thank you" on the receipt. The rest of other paper bags we insert in the kitchen garbage and change it every day. The plastic liner lasts 2 weeks. Why didn't I think of this sooner!
Posted by: Dot Vollans | March 8, 2007 4:51 PM
I enjoyed this video,perhaps it could be shown in all schools from kindergarden to grade 12.
Posted by: Terri Robson | March 8, 2007 7:29 PM
very good points - especially about carrying our own bags while globe trotting. this should be translated into spanish to reach more people.
Posted by: margarie | March 9, 2007 10:32 AM
Never thought about taking my own bags when shopping for other things than for groceries. Now i will! Plastic bags are an eye soar.
Posted by: henry | March 9, 2007 11:20 AM
Visual and to the point. These bags are environmental and politcal hazards worldwide. I agree with all the previous comments.
Posted by: Brooke Smith | March 9, 2007 1:49 PM
Whole Foods gives you 5 cents.
Shop once a week, save 5 cents x 52 weeks...buy an extra pint of ice cream...
Posted by: CRK | March 9, 2007 10:59 PM
i never really thought about this issue and thanks to this video and others, i have started paying more attention. the other day i saw about 10 plastic bags with a yellow smile face, and several more with the words 'thank you' on them. made me stop and think. thank you.
Posted by: Paul Flick | March 10, 2007 9:38 AM
Many thanks for all the positive comments. I realized it needed to be slowed down soon after submitting and have taken care of it. The issue of disposable bags is one that I think needs to be addressed every minute of everyday at the local, national and international levels.
Here's a thought for when you're grocery shopping - don't use a bag at all, ask to use a cardboard box that the shop has leftover, then from home, recycle it. After all, for those who shop at wholesale clubs, bags aren't used at all.

Excellent short video. Wish there could be a huge campaign about this subject. If only people would be quick to change their wasteful customs. How can we change many details of the style of life in the US?
