Good for you,Bilby, for using the green bags. I started using about 7-8weeks ago with only two bags. Now I have 5. It is weird, I am the ONLY one with them at our local grocery stores.I guess it'll take some time for it to catch on here in the Midwest. Feels good not to take the plastic bags, since some of the stores will put 2-3 items in a bag. Such a waste!!

I got 1 of my bags at a garage sale for $.25. Recycling...

It may be a while before I can afford a hybrid car because of the cost. My car is a 4 cyclinder too, a Ford Escort. Ten years old & still going good..knock on wood!! Things are too spread out here to go to the stores by walking but my car gets good gas mileage & I combine trips.

Do you have cable or satellite? The Sundance channel has a series called The Green which gives positive ideas to help with globalwarming. It is Robert Redford's channel.I have seen some interesting things that are in the works.Check it out if you get it. It is on Tuesday evenings here.
