Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 16, 2013

Here in San Francisco plastic bags are illegal

here in winter, some bags end up being insulating material in the footwear for some folks working outside in temps that end up in the minus of at times 10 below. along with the three pairs of socks and other items.

Pluggers – the original reusers

Pluggers plugs grocery chains.

Must be getting some loot from Cincinnati’s finest.

Books? Library? This is so 1980’s

I think the librarian moonlights as a pharmacist in Shoe!

Michigan Tumbleweeds.

Those reusable cloth bags can become very unsanitary. I’ll let you figure it out.

Trader Joe’s and now Ralph’s have reusable plastic bags for sale cheap that are high capacity and damn near indestructible. Use ’em!

I use two of them for music – two bands.

Those plastic bags wouldn’t last long as reusables. After their initial use for groceries, I use them for the automatic litter box. Since I started using cloth bags, which hold more are washable, the only plastic bags we get from the store are when my husband decides to make a side trip for something he wants to take to work for lunch.

They also make great temp overshoes.

Woo! If we pick plastic, we’re polluting the world. If we pick paper, we’re destroying the forests. If we use cloth, they get unsanitary. Maybe we could just carry the items out to the car one at a time, and reduce obesity!
