Hi,
I do believe in using cloth shopping bags. My problem is that then what do you use to pick up pet feces, litter box crunchies and to line waste baskes, etc.? It doesn't make sense to buy plastic bags for those uses when you can use the ones that you get free with purchase. Any thoughts on that?

Also, I remember in cooking class way back in the dark ages, about 50 years ago, we learned to line our garbage and trash cans with newspaper. I don't remember how to fold the paper to fit. This would be a good alternative to using plastic bags in wastebaskets. Does anyone remember how to do it?

Thanks for your help. I'm very glad to find your site. It was mentioned in Oprah's Magazine.
