No more plastic veggie bags!

I usually use grocery bags, but I'd like to cut down on that.... though I'm really not sure what to use instead.  Anyone have any ideas?

So I went on my first official BIG grocery shopping trip the other day and I brought along my green crate for the veggies.  It worked WONDERFULLY.  As I shopped, I put all my loose and naked veggies into the crate - but I ran into a problem.  I wanted to buy green beans.  I couldn't exactly throw them into the crate - that's a little too annoying, even for me.

Thanks to reading a blog by EnviroGirl I've realized it is completely
hypocritical to bring reusable bags to the grocery store, but then put
all my veggies in individual bags! I have thought about this before but for some reason thought it was unavoidable.

So, from now on I am going to use my handy green crate and place my veggies directly into it.

Sweet.
