On plastic bags... again

Just read the following:

According to the EPA, Americans discarded more than 4.4 million tons of polyethylene bags in 2005, and only about 5 percent of those were recycled. Plastic bags waste resources, release toxins when burned, and contribute to global warming due to the energy required to make them. Bags littering the oceans also annually kill countless marine animals that mistake them for food.
This is madness! Simple action: let's eliminate the use of plastic bags and let's use only cloth bags instead.

I found a great place where to buy reusable bags for all your needs (from basic tote bags to cotton produce bags) http://www.reusablebags.com/gallery.php
