Jodene, who commented “I bring my own bags to the grocery store and now, this past week actually, I bring them to all the stores including the mall. It’s a bit hard to remember all the time but I am getting much better at it,” is the winner. Thanks to everyone who entered.
These hip organic totes from SKN with mod fruit and vegetable prints are great for shopping trips, library runs, and any type you want to ditch that oh so yesterday plastic shopping bag habit.
I’ve got the SKN bag in the lemon design and love it. They’ve gotten a lot of media buzz, having been featured, among other places, in Health and Town and Country magazines as well as on trend watching blogs such as She FInds, Mom Finds, Style.com, The Eco Modernist (and of course Savvy Housewife!)
SKN bags are:
- 12″wide x 16″high x 6″deep
- Made of 100% sturdy unbleached cotton
- Are gusseted, fold flat, and hold up to 40 lbs.
- Machine washable on cold (drip dry)
For every order you place, SKN will plant a tree through American Forests. Founded in 1875, American Forests is the United States’ oldest non-profit citizen’s conservation organization. They are a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, a pioneer in the science and practice of urban forestry, and a primary communicator in the benefits of trees and forests.

Really cutting down on buying bottled water. Even though we recycle our bottles and cans, we have really tried to stick with filtered tap water put in reusable water bottles instead.
I have started a compost pile for our household garbage.
I love to recycle my glass jars and recycle grocery shopping bags.
I have started bringing my own cloth bags to the grocery store, instead of using paper or plastic.
i reuse my bags all the time.
not using plastic water bottles and recycling are two big steps we are taking
We reuse recycle and reduce in any ways we can.
We have made so many changes over the year but related to the totes we always use our cloth bags for shopping now. I keep fifteen in the trunk (different sizes and uses) and I keep one in my purse for quick trips.
I take my plastic bags to the local library where others can reuse them to carry checked out items home. This helps keep bags from going to landfills and protects books from the frequent rain we have here in the northwest.

I am recycling all my #1 and #2 plastics and also glass.
i bring my own tote bags to the grocery store since we have like a million of them!
Natural cleansers like vinegar and baking soda do a great job without harming the planet. I use reusable grocery bags, recycle and compost and try to conserve gas by driving “smart” and driving much less.
Another reason for me to win is that my initials for my maiden name are SKN.
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I’ve replaced all my light bulbs with the low voltage ones and they are just as good as the old ones and I think they last longer. I’ve been taking my own shopping bags to the store, lately, too, and I’m trying to recyle a lot more, so I have less garbage.
I bought a new energy-saving washing machine and I have 2 reuseasble totes which I absolutely LOVE!! They are so sturdy and not as heavy as full plastic bags. Other than being eco-friendly, of course
I would love more totes to use for my entire grocery shopping.
We recycle as much as we can.
Recycling!
One step I’ve made to be eco-friendly is I’ve been using less electricity and not driving when I don’t have to. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
