I have a mental image of my family's living room the moment after every Christmas gift has been unwrapped. Strewn across the floor are heaps of colorful wrapping paper, some with little bears printed on them, others with dancing candy canes. Hours were spent making sure every fold was tight and every cut was even, but in the end it's all bundled up and sent away.
I know this isn't a phenomenon
This is a 'bayong' which was mostly used in the early days in the Philippines when plastic bags were not commonly used yet.The 'bayong' is a handwoven bag made from palm, pandan or sea grass leaves. The leaves are then dried and cut into strips before it gets woven into a bag.The 'bayong' is very durable and will last a long time. I even remember that my lola (grandmother) used to carry a bayong.

If you are providing your child with bottled water each day, you are potentially adding 200 water bottles to the landfill annually.

Is plastic OK?
More and more, the answer is “no”. During the past few years, flimsy, disposable plastic bags have become a retailing pariah. Environmentalists decry them for littering parks and waterways and piling up in landfills, where they will take almost 1,000 years to break down. The bags are also made from non-renewable and valuable [...]

Plastic, paper and cotton bags are probably the easiest and cheapest options when it comes to containing and transporting foods, powders, ice, chemicals and even wastes. Billions of single-use plastic bags are distributed free of cost every day. These free single-use bags might seem to be of great advantage apparently, but as the old adage goes, nothing in this world comes for free. We pay heavily

I understand the purpose of the reusable shopping bags. That's why I now have 6 of them, and hope to get more. With my large family and as much shopping as I do, we go though an enormous amount of plastic bags. Most stores are selling the reusable bags for .99 cents or giving them away free so why not stock up on them so that I can reduce the amount of plastic bags I am using.The key words here are: reusable bags, reduce, plastic bag intakeOkay, so I go to CVS this morning to get my Zone Perfect Bars and Soft Soap.

Reusable Stickers, Lollipops, and Safety BraceletWhen traveling in the car or on an airplane, a great entertainer is reusable stickers. Your children can stick and restick them on the windows of the car or airplane. Also, lollipops are good for earaches during flying. I travel with my 2-year-old at least once a year by airplane, and when we have to change airplanes, I put a safety bracelet on her connecting her to me. That way I can put my backpack on my back, she's connected to my wrist, and my hands are free to carry her carseat. By the way, I tell her it's a bracelet - and I point out that I am wearing one, too, and that she can take it off when we reach the next gate. By: Angela Oleson

Great article from No Impact Man on his super duper ultra cool re-usable cup. As you can see from the pic, it is a mason jar.
Colin a/k/a No Impact Man, brings about an interesting viewpoint that some have about reusable cups. Some say that with the cost of manufacturing and the energy used to wash a reusable cup, why even bother with one?
Well it is not the same it is (apples vs. oranges) a reusable cup is just that re-usable, meant to be reused time and time again. A disposable will be thrown out after mostly one use and then go straight to a landfill where it will die a long long long death. (long)
Which reusable cup or mug you decide to use is up to you, as you know there are many in the market. Do research, and get the one that suits your needs, is rather inexpensive, and is completely ultra cool.
