Go green and recycle plastic bags

People are starting to recycle some thing instead of throwing them out. There are many inventive ways to recycle especially plastic bags. Here in the Southern California. There are many groceries stores that are still using plastic bags. I heard that late this year, they are going to charge customers for plastic bags. I really don't know that exact amount. So, people would use tote bags for their groceries which I would say that it is more environmental friendly. To make use of plastic bags. Here are the things you can do:

• Use them as bin liners. - I am using them as liners for our trash can. It is more useful that way than just throwing it out.
  
• Place them in the bottom of plant pots and hanging baskets - they act as great drainage systems.
• Scrunch them up to surround items when you're packaging as an alternative to bubble wrap.
• Use them when packing for a holiday to keep dirty/wet clothes and shoes away from dry clothing.
• Use them as 'doggy doo bags' when out walking your dog!
• Some supermarkets recycle plastic bags, so you can return plastic bags to them.
• Re-use washed zip lock bags for sandwiches and snacks rather than using plastic wrap. I have a friend who washes zip lock bags to save money and recycling purposes. I really admire what she does.
