I almost forgot. What Pim said.* Jesus, people -- it's a canvas tote. And, if you are so distraught by not getting one of these fucking bags that you drive your Prius into the compact fluorescent display at your local Whole Foods, here's the tune you will want pumping out of your Bose:
X-Ray Specs "Plastic_Bag." Germ-Free Adolescents, (1978)
Also, where is the patient zero for hype? The DI/DO article purports to cover the hype, while fanning the flames of the hype. Is there ever hype preceding coverage of hype? See also iPhone, and Harry Potter.*
*At the end of Deathly Hallows, he marries Voldemort, btw.

Also, I wonder what type of bags those people throw their garbage in? I use plastic grocery bags for my lunchbox, garbage, and the occasional dental dam.

I saw a woman carrying one on the subway this morning, along with two plastic bags filled with groceries. I wanted to say, "You're right, that's not a plastic bag but the other two are!"

It is good to be conscious of waste, but the single-minded focus on grocery bags as the problem won't help a lot. In particular, if everything that goes in a canvas bag gets wrapped in plastic first.
