Big Bag Theory
In Europe, especially in Germany, we bring our own fabricbags to groceries to save on plastic. If you want plastic, you pay for it.
In America, we use two plastic bags per bunch of groceries. And use up about ten per trip.
I wish Mayor Bloomberg and President Bush would (1) follow Germany’s example, and in following with the banning of drinking outside and smoking inside, (2)ban plastic bags too. Less plastic, less trash. We’ll just have keep fabric bags handy. That shouldn’t be so ‘inconvenient.’

I agree. And while they’re at it, bike trails all over just like in Europe. We might also try to bring railroad tracks back. Euro-railing was so much fun. You went, right?
Carissa, how is it that someone who has travelled as extensive as you don’t have any pictures to show for? Just goes to show you don’t like to show off….That and the fact that you don’t have the need to prove yourself.
On a tangent, I heard this the other day and I thought of you: “Happiness is proportional to your own humility.” If you’re always wanting things, you’re never going to be happy ’cause it’s never going to be enough. There’s always going to be more stuff to covet. Inversely, if you’re secure about who you are as a person and happy in your own skin, you don’t have to accumulate things to be happy.
