Freecycle and Reusable bags

In order to keep things out of landfills, Freecycle emerged. http://www.freecycle.org/ has a group for each community. Give some, take some, try not to throw out anything that someone else can use. It's email based and you can post things you have to offer or respond to someone's offer. With growing children this not only saves the environment but also money!

The other item I recently came across and love are Flip and Tumble reusable bags. http://www.flipandtumble.com/shop.html the video shows how it goes into it's built in pouch to take up less room than a small apple. Great to keep in the glove box or purse for those random shopping trips!
