2. Make Your Own
Even better than buying new, try your hand at refashioning materials you already have at home into carryalls with a one-of-a-kind look. From ridiculously simple solutions, like using a pillowcase as a bag, to patterns that require a bit more sewing (like turning an old tank top into a tote), there are dozens of ways to DIY your own bags. Bonus: you’ll be upcycling instead of recycling, saving carbon—and money—at the same time.

The only time I get a plastic bag is when I need a trash bag. Any ideas for trash bags? I bought small produce bags made from a mesh type material. My produce lasts longer in the frige. Love them. Thanks for the suggestions.

Great article! Especially the idea of using the old sports jereys as the fruit containers.
thanks.
