Ever since the crackdown on the usage traditional plastic bags, substitute bags have been popping up everywhere.  Some of the local farmer’s markets have begun using BioBags, which biodegrade within a short period of time.  Throw it into your compost bin (which I myself have yet to get) and you’re golden.  I have also noticed that Savers, America’s Thrift Department Store, has also started to carry biodegradable bags.

It’s nice to know that when you forget your reusable shopping bag at home, there are other eco-friendly solutions.
