No Bags Challenge - round up
Well, my month of accepting no bags from shops is up… and it was a success!
I have avoided taking any plastic bags… now, if I could just vanish the receipts as well….
The best thing to come out of this whole process is the habit I have formed. I am now used to thinking about taking a bag with me when I go shopping - in fact I now usually just have a green bag in my car. And I’ve moved to walking to the supermarket more - especially as Nick’s been away, and I’ve been buying much less food! So, I’ve developed two new positive habits that I intend to continue.
Now, if I could just cultivate the habit of not-being-messy…..
Did anyone else out there do the No Bags Challenge? How did you go?

We just bought some of the Stuffit bags so they are easy to carry with us, which in my opinion would be the biggest drawback with those green shopping bag/boxes.
Good stuff on the no bags!!

Hey - just checked them out, they look cool. I had an idea to make something like that for myself out of canvas - so that it could be condensed when not in use…
