Glad to see you posted :)<br/><br/>Well, in San Francisco grocery stores are banned from using plastic bags, which is great...<br/><br/>The city hall got involved and forced them, though :)<br/><br/>Though, the rest of the bay needs to catch up... So, there's a lot of room for improvement in that area.<br/>Sooo many kinds of stores use them, though! <br/><br/>I must start refusing those plastic bags... hmmm, that will be interesting, but I'll give it a try :) Hi there!

Also, if buying a house, seriously consider a row house - it saves energy for the planet and money on your energy bill!
