And by the way, I have a big ball of plastic bag “yarn” in my cabinet, waiting to be crocheted into something useful… It’s been growing for months.

Ha ha Elliott,
When I read your first line about a green “movement” following the birth of a baby, I my first thought was about baby poop. Sorry. I’m feeling unsophisticated today.

One way I reuse plastic bags is to keep them in the bathroom cupboard for the once a week emptying of bathroom/bedroom garbage cans. They’re the perfect size for those small trash cans.

I’ve also been switching over to cloth bags for shopping (and forget to bring them as often as I take them!)…It’s amazing how the plastic bags spawn in my garage!

I’ve seen them turned into lengths to be used for crocheting and knitting…tried it once myself, but I didn’t have my gauge right. I’ll have to try it again now that i know a bit more about the craft.

(Ah, and I am also crunchy on the inside with a soft suburban shell. yepyep.)

LOL- there are many of us who love plastic bags. I think you are on the right track…if we can reuse them as many times as possible we’re at least doing some good.

I save everything…even old broken egg beaters, broken plastic toys, bags with holes for art and science projects…you never know what kids can invent!
