Welcome to Going Green in Saratoga: Living sustainably one day at a time!  My purpose with this blog is to share my efforts to live a more sustainable daily life - converting my yard to garden, biking more, buying local - while at the same time create a community forum to share ideas and resources on what others are doing to "relocalize" and lessen our impact on this earth. Please share your ideas and stories of inspiration on how you or someone you know is "going green".

The Majestic Plastic Bag - A Mockumentary

Here's a short (3+min) video on the Majestic Plastic Bag's cycle of life, passed onto me from a friend on the west coast. I often say I feel like my life has been taken over by plastic bags. We should all be using our own recycled bags. I personally keep them in my car. If I happen to forget to bring in a recycled bag, then I either carry the items in my hand if it's only a few, or, I ask for as few bags as possible (which is entirely contrary to the Grocery store bagger's training which ironically has them trained to basically use as many plastic bags as possible so to prevent breakage and spillage and to keep some food items away from others.)

What if you had to pay 50 cents for a plastic bag? Would that be motivation to use your recycled bags? Enjoy this mockumentary
