The other day, someone asked me about making reusable ‘bulk goods’ bags. And I was surprised I had never thought of it before. There are tons of reusable grocery bags, but I still find myself with a half dozen small plastic bags of essential grains and spices when I leave the grocery store. Instead of filling up those thin plastic bags with almonds, rice and pasta, you could bring cloth bags and fill them instead. That way you wouldn’t need the plastic and you would have something more fun to put in your shopping cart (you can wash and reuse a fabric bag many times). And they are simple to make. So in honor of Earth Week why not make a few reusable bags from upcycled Goodwill shirts and see what you think.
