BYOB
Bring Your Own Bag… or Baggu in this case.
This guilty feeling came over me whenever I was at the checkout counter because of all the plastic and paper bags that were going to waste. I even bought a cute canvas tote last year but it was too expensive to buy more than one and also kind of bulky to carry around. Then, I found Baggu!
You can choose your favorite color or have a variety of different colors. I got some in Red and some in Smoke. They are reasonably priced and are cheaper as you buy more. They are very lightweight and can easily slip into a pocket or purse. A good reason to BYOB.
I’m not an all out tree-hugger, but I’ve been more intentional about how I can participate in helping our earth. Below are just a few ways our household has been making changes:
- using the dishwasher
- stopping paper statements and doing mostly online banking
- switching out to energy-saving light bulbs
- buying more organic products
- reading magazines at a bookstore and not buying|subscribing as much.
Here are some more tips from a fellow Grace.
Happy Earth Day friends!

Hi Grace,
I think the biggest thing you and your hubby did was to go digital early. Think of how many trees you saved. ~KOOP
