July 12, 2008: See my update on another nice alternative to grocery store produce bags. I was feeling very virtuous at Whole Foods yesterday, where I’d traveled by bus with my happy Baggu reusable bags. And then I grabbed some radishes and pulled a produce bag off the roll — ugh, not only bad plastic, but plastic I wouldn’t even re-use. Just as I was feeling very unhappy about this choice, I noticed a stand of these reusable mesh produce bags. If I’d comaprison shopped online, I would have found cheaper ones, and probably some from recycled material. But I was so happy not to walk out of the store with nasty filmy plastic, I snapped these up. I think they’ll also fold up so I can put one in each of my Baggu pouches.
Today’s mitzvah: How can you take an extra step and become even more eco-friendly?

I've started using produce bags from www.ecobags.com. They're made from organic cotton and they're washable. I've had mine almost a year and they're still in awesome shape. Much nicer than those plastic bags in the produce area!
I use Re-Market Reusable Produce Bags. I hated using the plastic bags at the store and I love using these now. They're reusable and machine washable too. http://remarket.etsy.com
