Tree Hugging Family - Living Green

Need to catch up on our reusable bag series?

by Jennifer on June 17th, 2008

This month we’ve been looking at all things reusable bags. Now is your chance to catch up, because I gathered everything up and made a little list. If we’ve missed a key point that you’d love covered, please let us know. The month isn’t over, and we have plenty of reusable bag goodness plans left; but we don’t think of everything, so it’s smart to tell us if we’re missing an important bag topic.

Our bag challenge!:

First of all we’re having the Bring Your Own Bag (BYOB challenge) - a challenge, I might add, that lots of you have entered, and we’re thrilled with how well we’re all doing as a group. Go us. Catch up on this challenge by joining in or by reading our first update. Another check in is coming soon.
