<p>This would really make reusable grocery bags an absolute no-brainer for everyone. You can pick them up at your local grocery store, or Wal-Mart, for about a buck, or even summon the Martha Stewart in you (pre chain gang) and <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2116982_cloth-grocery-bag.html" target="_blank">make your own</a>!</p>
<p>However, if you do end up using a plastic bag, <em>please</em> remember to drop them off at your local grocery. Almost all provide a recycling solution.</div>
