Comments on: Direct Action, Part 1: Green Sangha http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/08/direct-action-part-1-green-sangha/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:20:56 +0000 hourly 1 By: Fake Plastic Fish http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/08/direct-action-part-1-green-sangha/comment-page-1/#comment-2699 Fake Plastic Fish Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:47:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/08/direct-action-part-1-green-sangha/#comment-2699 Thanks for letting me know, Racinette.

Thank you for doing this!

If you have time, I think a correction needs to be made to the link to the “don’t think about plastic bags” flyer, as I get some error when I click it. (but found a similarly named Green Sangha page with google)

I should have been more clear about the cloth bags. Green Sangha has given out cloth bags at other Farmers Markets, but at Temescal the manager didn’t want me to give out bags as they would compete with the canvas bags he is selling. So I was only giving out information.

Heather, I love the idea of furoshiki. So versatile. I may try it.

I always use cloth bags for groceries, but only recently heard of smaller, thin cloth bags that can be used for fruits and vegetables. I’ll have to make some!
(And we’re thinking of starting a Green Sangha here in Vancouver.)

I’ve been bringing my cloth produce and canvas shopping bags to our local farmer’s market this season, and everyone has been verbally supportive, but it never occurred to me to give out bags. How cool! Could you perhaps post info on where to get those canvas bags??
