They are the ones who started using reusable bags! You sound like a child who is trying to be cool. Try being authentic and you'll be much happier.<BR/><BR/>Deb (fellow edmontonian)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-48327435461795012202007-05-04T13:04:00.000-06:002007-05-04T13:04:00.000-06:00Please pass this information on:Greys Paper Recycl...Please pass this information on:<BR/>Greys Paper Recycling Industries is a new business in Edmonton, Alberta that is making sturdy recycled bags:<BR/><BR/>The sole aim of the corporation is PAPER RECYCLING.<BR/><BR/>To serve Mother Nature and assist nature to replenish its bounties, we would like you to be our partner in this cause.

My thanks to Michelle for the suggestions. I also wanted to point out two excellent websites I found: reusablebags.com and ecobags.com. They both offer a wide range of high quality bags.<br /><br />-another EdmontonianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1154115624829413772006-07-28T13:40:00.000-06:002006-07-28T13:40:00.000-06:00My god, a person from Edmonton.

Before I had people from Zambia, Thailand, Chile, Brazil, and Australia regularly visit my blog, but never anyone locally.<BR/><BR/>To answer, I actually haven't bought anything yet − too busy/lazy. So your advice should be helpful, thanks.Robert McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270962906437456350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1154114363651092332006-07-28T13:19:00.000-06:002006-07-28T13:19:00.000-06:00By now, you've undoubtedly located a bag.

But, as a fellow Edmontonian who's just found your blog via TOD, I'll pass on this info anyway.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for simple black, natural or tan cloth bags with no logo, Earth's General Store on Whyte Avenue sells some.<BR/><BR/>Sunterra sells largish dark blue non-cloth bags with their logo on the side, and the Farmer's market sells yellow ones.<BR/><BR/>They're all fairly good, I think, but the non-cloth ones hold a good deal more.<BR/><BR/>I actually use one of those folding boxes for my groceries, finding that things don't get quite as squashed on the way home.<BR/><BR/>-Michelle, fellow EdmontonianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1151984059914670912006-07-03T21:34:00.000-06:002006-07-03T21:34:00.000-06:00I have a Land's End tote bag which makes a wonderf...I have a Land's End tote bag which makes a wonderful shopping bag.
