The New "BYOB": Bring Your Own Bag

There is this "new" movement to stop wasting plastic and to help the environment via "bringing your own bag". The bag to the left, designed by Anya Hindmarch, was sold in limited production at Whole Foods for $15. They are easily fetching $200-250 on eBay right now.

I don't know if I could bring my own bags to the grocery store... but a lot of experts have weighed in and said that this is one of the easiest things that we can do to prevent waste...
