The T-Shirt Grocery Bag: Say “No” to Plastic & Save Some Cash

In recent years, as the general population has become more environmentally-conscious, many “green” habits have taken to the mainstream. One such example is the proliferation of reusable grocery bags–a simple, but effective way to reduce waste and our reliance on non-degradable plastics. Continuing our anticipation of Earth Day 2011, I’m going to show you how you can jump on the reusable bag bandwagon without having to buy any of those expensive store-branded bags sold at the store.

As detailed in my previous post, The T-Shirt Lifecycle, some t-shirts inevitably fall out of our rotation for one reason or another. There’s no need to throw such a shirt away! Why not use it to create reusable grocery bag?
