I put all 10 bags into the car and told my kids that when we bring them inside and empty them that they have to take them back out to the car so I won't forget them at home. Good plan (if the kids aren't in school). I have to admit that I went to several stores this afternoon and half way across the parking lot I had to go back to the car for the bags but other than that they worked great!

What a wonderful resolution. I keep mine in my van so they're hard for me to forget. I usually shop at stores that don't provide bags so it's an added incentive to me to remember those bags. If I don't I either have to pay for bags or juggle my purchases.

We've been using the canvas bags for about 2 years now. Once you get the hang of remembering to use them, it becomes second nature. We love not having to take the plastic and paper bags back to the store for recycling. That, and it distinguishes us from the tourists! :-)

If you go paper you can fill them with dirt grow a tree and plant it bag and all! We've got a bag to use at the store but tend to forget to bring it. We should do better!

Well done! That's a step in the right direction. Some stores here in Nova Scotia have done away with plastic bags altogether (most notably, the NS Liquor Commission) -- they offer paper and cloth bags as an alternative. The NSLC alone will keep 10 million plastic bags out of landfills by this move. We bought several of the cloth bags our largest supermarket offers (some of their stores have gone plastic bag-less, too) for $1 each and actually prefer them for to the plastic ones.
