Recycle bags are everywhere. Stores and entrepreneurs alike are cashing in on the green movement to rid the world of disposable bags. From large retailers such as Wal-Mart to smaller grocery chains, it seems as if everyone has green reusable bags for sale. Recycle bags are becoming more popular than ever. What is uncommon, however, in the world of reusable bags is their use in everyday life.

Sure most green goers are quick to grab their recycle bags when headed to the store, but what about when they go to the mall? The mission to stop the use of disposable bags is not limited to grocery purchases. Consumers can and should consider utilizing their environment bags for all their shopping needs.

Recycle bags are designed to carry just about anything. There are even bags made to conceal purchases you may not want the entire world knowing you made. Sure, you won’t get to leave the store with hip bag that screams "GAP" but you will be doing your part to save the planet. Besides, if you are really into making a statement, you can purchase a green bag that displays a message or even better, know that you look cool because you are saving the planet and stimulating the economy all at once.

Finally, while most of us plan a trip to the grocery store, retail shopping can be a bit more spontaneous. This makes the use of recycle bags a little more challenging. To ensure that you always have a bag readily available, keep some in your car or purse. If you do happen to forget, consider forgoing the disposable bag all together. Do you really need a bag to carry a pair of shoes in a box? By taking this approach you are still doing your part.
