Friday Quickie: BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag)

Happy Friday!

We’ve gotten a lot of great responses based on our Plastic Bag Ban Petition, but make sure to practice what you preach. The next time you run out to the grocery store, mall or afternoon stroll, BYOB.

Worried about the size or variety? There’s lot of washable and fold-able options.
