There are so many ways to "save the earth". I realized, after China stopped taking our plastic bags to recycle, that I needed to cut my consumption down.

(Nothing like not being able to "throw away" my consumerism to get me to reduce/reuse/recycle even more!)

Here are some tissue holders to use for recycled, wheat straw or bamboo, paper tissues. 

And of course there's the tote bags that we've gotten used to bringing with us to the store. These may be a bit more fancy than our grocery bags. I use them when I buy items like clothing, or a pharmacy/department type store, go on a weekend trip, or to the beach! Also, great for quilt or knitting meetings!
