Thanks for the Livepath resources, will check those out. And KM, I agree, it is also a smart path to follow, shifting people away from a purely consumer oriented path. And yet, we are where we are now, and to make shifts, big and small, in how people think of the world around them, all add up.
And in terms of needing a bag, it would depend on what’s sold there, and where they use it. At a farmer’s market? The supermarket? Carrying your books around for a walk in the park? Lots more uses then for the latest chic boutique, yes?

Kudos. the bottom line is that consumers have to practice the best way to reduce – buy less (even if there’s a good cause involved or if you get satisfaction talking to you friends about your latest re-usable one-of-a-kind fashion bag). business is about making money and growth so no wonder everyone is offering a reusable bag but as consumers try to get smarter about choices they make supporting the business the shop/buy from the most important one it to buy less. how many people actually NEED any kind of bag for their average purchases anyway?

Very interesting.
If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
Check http://LivePaths.com, a blog about the innovative people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
