Not crazy for virgin nylon
It's a great idea to purchase reusable bags to take to the store. It's not so great to purchase bags made from virgin petroleum-based synthetics.
It would be better to reuse plastic grocery bags that you already have than to purchase bags made of new synthetic materials. Plastic grocery bags can can be folded up and stored in a purse as easily as a nylon bag.
The previous reviewer mentioned that when she forgets to take her reusable bag into the store, she ends up with "a collection of plastic bags." Those plastic bags can be saved from the landfill by being used multiple times. There are so many plastic bags floating around this world looking for something constructive to do. Let's put them to work instead of into the ocean.
I think that unless reusable bags are made from either recycled plastic or renewable materials, they are still part of the problem, especially if we are using fuel to import them from Germany.

Bring Your Own Bag
I bought one of those reusable bags at trader joe's almost a year ago. When i remembered to grab it out of my car in the parking lot, it was great. I didn't have to worry about what i was going to do with another plastic bag. I wouldn't have make another trip to take my collection of plastic bags to get recycled. I started to use it at other places too: koo koo roo, whole foods, famima any place where i would buy something and bring it home. Problem was i didn't always remember to grab the bag first. So i still ended up with a collection of plastic bags. A conversation with one of my Pilates clients about remembering carryall bags led to her informing me that the Container Store in Century City sells nylon bags folded up into a little pouch. Great ! I was very excited. I was even happier when i went to the store and found them attached to a key chain like hook. This meant i could actually clip it on to my purse. Reisenthel makes these.Come in several colors-I got the black.
