Free shopping bags...

Did you know that the average family goes through about 400 plastic grocery bags a year? Using reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags is a small, and simple lifestyle change that can make a big difference on the environment.

Many places are selling these reusable bags for about $1, but here are a few opportunities to get one or two for free!

• Score on the Earthbound Farm Conservation Quiz and win a free shopping tote! Offer good for US and Canadian residents only, while supplies last. Quiz must be completed before Midnight PDT, April 30, 2008. One bag per mailing address. Bags will be shipped to recipients in June, 2008.
• On April 19th at 8:00 a.m., as part of Earth Month 2008, Walmart will be giving away one million reusable shopping bags nationwide. Click here to see the details.

So, get your reusable bags and take them with you on your next shopping trip! Don't forget to use your bags them by keeping them in the same place you keep your purse or wallet. Better yet, store them in the car so you always have them!
