I was thinking the same thing. We purchased a large plastic reusable grocery bag at LGM a few years ago and liked it so much, we purchased a second one to bring home. It's orange and white (Dutch colors) with a cow (or two?) on the front, and I'm constantly being asked where I got it here at home.

We actually used it as a water resistant beach bag on a boat excursion last trip and it worked like a charm. It also doesn't allow any sand to penetrate like some of the beach bags I've had.

If they should do away with the flimsy plastic bags by law, which I personally think would be a good thing, I can't help but wonder what all the take-out food concerns will do. Back to paper I guess......? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
