The Irony of Produce

There I stood, next in the checkout line at my local sidewalk market. The woman ahead of me reprimanded the cashier for trying to put her purchases in plastic grocery bags, when she had a reusable cotton shopping sac hidden away somewhere. The irony? She had put each and every piece of her produce in non-reusable plastic produce bags. Had I known then, I would have turned her on to the idea of reusable produce bags, which I happened across on Green Living Ottawa. "Eco-bags" are machine washable, and you can even get them in organic cotton.
