First off, I have to give Tony and Jill the credit for this one. Thank you for introducing us to this great product. We all know that we live in a time when every little bit helps with regards to the environment. That being said, Mar and I have started using these eco-friendly grocery bags used by the Earthwise Bag Company. Not only do these bags help the environment, but they are very handy. We were able to fit about four bags worth of groceries into one of these great green bags. They are wide enough for a gallon of milk and deep enough to store plenty of products. An added bonus is discounts at certain stores, such as Meijer that will give you a discount for using these bags instead of their own. We paid one dollar a piece for six while visiting Tony and Jill in Champaign, but you can order them directly from the online store in sets of ten. They are slightly more expensive on the website, but they are well worth the price.

glad to see you're saving the world one bag at a time:) thanks for the portillo's we're still eating it! let us know if we need to purchase bags for anyone.
oh yeah..does the "every little bit helps" statement extend itself to recycling?!?
Oh Jillian, I was waiting for that to be said. Yes, recycling is included, even when I am a stick in the mud about it.
Since I come from a long line of 'treehuggers', I am happy to see that you are doing this.
On the topic of saving the environment, the UC Berkeley tree-sit is still going strong. If you aren't familiar, I suggest checking it out. http://www.saveoaks.com/SaveOaks/Main.html
Thanks for the link Sammy, it was very interesting. If anyone needs a bag, Jill has offered to by some at her local market for one buck a piece. I'm sure we will figure out the logistics of delivery.
We just bought ten bags ourselves (5 for each car)...so long to plastic bags...Thanks Tony & Jill!
