Am I weird or something for not wanting to use plastic bags, because they are bad for the environment ? Is American the only country that recycles? Well the other day when I was a the mall in Kuwait, I was at the American store Forever 21 and they had reusable shopping bags so I decided to buy one to put my purchases in. When I told the girl at the counter that I wanted to use the bag for my purchase and not a plastic bag, she looked at me like I had 3 eyes! She said "what? how many bags are you going to carry?" I wanted to say just put the shit in the bag dumbass ! With the amount of litter I have seen all over Kuwait in their cities, I have come to the conclusion that they don't recycle or know anything about taking care of the environment ! I wanted to share a picture of the wonderfully stylish reusable shopping bag that I carried all over that Kuwaiti Mall.

My wonderful cousin Stephanie left me a comment on one of my green posts that she went to buy reusable grocery bags and they were made in China. So of course I had to go check out the bags I had bought. I was so happy about buying them in the first place that I totally forgot to check where they were made when I was at the store. I open the trunk of my car to to check them out and they are made in China too!! I was so angry! I think I might try and return them. Thanks for the heads up cousin Stephanie.

If you are all about the reusable shopping bags like me and want to win one for free.

The articles are great and you can get a free bag, whats better than that! Mine is on its way.

I found organic cotton shirts at the store for Emma today. Both have "green messages" on them. One has the picture of the earth with a sparkly pink crown on it and it says "Save the Earth, the moon doesn't have Princesses" and the other has a frog and says "Think Green" I also went to grocery store today for a few items and I picked up 5 of the reusable cloth bags that they sell. No more plastic bags for us.
