Alternate title – Why plastic bags suck.
This was the view out of my back door last Friday. A beautiful full moon framed by ugly plastic bags.

Stumble it!

Oh I hate when I see bags in trees like that! It gets very windy here and I constantly see bags flying around, drives me nuts!

And that is one of the main reasons I have been using reusable canvas bags for shopping for about 6 years now. It appears the stores are wising up-I see a lot more reusable bags for sale now everywhere I go. There is hope!
