42 days into the New Year and I haven't used a single plastic bag--not even to bag my produce at the grocery store. At this rate, I'm on a pace to use exactly ZERO plastic bags fior the entire year.
Think I'm overdramatizing the whole plastic thing? Check out this article about the miles of plastic bags floating in the South Pacific:

china banned the plastic bag, correct me if i am wrong. are you just going no plastic bags at the store or in your home garbage as well? and could we please get a photo of every bag that you use, you know a way to tie the 2 blogs together.

Wow--I totally forgot about my home garbage. Maybe I'll just start a landfill in my backyard. After all, it's a rental house. . .

Thanks for the accountability.
