Thank you for the shout out Jo Anna! This is actually being organized by a couple other do-gooders. Sounds like fun! As many realize, we will not recycle our way out of this mess. La Manzanilla Hermosa has been working on several efforts to reduce plastic use and offer more environmentally friendly options. As of this month, the larger grocery stores and La Vaquita Feliz butcher shop are not handing out plastic, single-use carry bags. You might notice some signage about this when you return. Thank you store owners!!! There is some resistance to making these small changes, and I invite everyone to talk it up, explain why this is important for the future, give away extra reusable bags if you have them, and practice the 3 R's as best you can! | -----------------Re: Re-usable Shopping bags

For sure, here in Mexico it can’t be long ago that No-one would have dreamed of going shopping without a basket to put things in. Then baskets became a quaint artesan item for tourists to buy and display on a shelf. And those oh-so-convenient plastic bags of all shapes and sizes did the real work of containing our stuff. Oh, well, people do seem to be getting it. And maybe we still have time to turn things around - or at least have fun trying. | -----------------Re: Re-usable Shopping bags

What will "laVaquita feliz" butcher shop use for containing the meat ?And the fishshermen coop? do we have to take our own containers there?

I have 2 bags made from plastic shopping bags, a friend of mine made them, she crocheted them, I don't crochet so I don't know how she did it, but could be a good idea to use all the plastic bags still out there and make them useful until there are no more. I have had my bags for 3 years now, very strong. I use them for shopping and even as overnight bags when we go on short trips. | -----------------Re: Re-usable Shopping bags
