It’s 2014. Despite your resolutions to be more eco-friendly, I predict you will continue forgetting your reusable bags with the same frequency you always have. Don’t despair. You’ll never have to face the shame of showing up bag-less if you stock up on long sleeve t-shirts from Goodwill. All it takes to be green this year is a little ingenuity.
Step 1:Find long sleeve, button up shirts in good patterns from Goodwill.
Step 2:Unbutton the bottom few buttons, and tie opposite corners (from the front to the back.) make sure to tie them tightly, and overlap so that the bottom opening is entirely covered by your two knots (otherwise your things will fall out)
Step 3: Tie the sleeves together to make a handle.
It’s that easy. If you keep a few in your car you will never have to use plastic bags again. Make sure to test you’re bag’s strength before loading it full of heavy produce. If you’re knots are tight though, you won’t have any problems.
Here’s to a greener new year, and thanks for giving back to your community by shopping at Goodwill!
