In Taiwan, I learned that we shouldn't take using plastic bags for granted because it would cost us when we ask for the plastic bags in the market.
Back here, I got a lot of "free" plastic bags every week from the grocery shopping, and even though we used them as garbage bags, we still have many in the drawer.
I had 3 free 環保袋 from City of Cupertino and Marina Market, but I never used them before. They were in my closet for more than a year, but I never thought of using them because I didn't think that it would be convenient to me to bring the bags to the market. Today, I decided to give them a try. When I handed the bags to the cashier, I felt so proud of myself because I was making the effort to protect the environment, and I felt "臉上有光，走路有風".All my groceries (around $70)were fit into those 3 bags, and it actually saved me some time to take the groceries from the car to the kitchen because instead of 10+ plastic bags, I just needed to carry 3 bags. I loved it!
Well, I may still get the plastic bags from the market when I ran out of the garbage bags, but I will be using the 環保袋 more and more in the future.

這個習慣很好歐。
我半年前開始實行，之前因為不習慣加上一般送的還保袋很大，放不進包包，放車上下車容易忘，後來被我找到可以折的很小很小的環保袋，之後就常常用，比一般朔膠袋能裝的多很多，也不會破掉。
如果你去safeway, target跟trader joe如果自備袋子，還會有錢退你或是可以參加每禮拜的抽獎（有gift card)。
我也要開使用環保袋, 這樣真的很好.
台灣很多地方環保意識真的作的比美國好.
我最近也發現Abertson's有在回收塑膠袋, 我也有拿去.
Pei: 這麼好？I've never heard of it.
SF: Agree. 台灣很多地方環保真的作的比美國好.
是真的，我常常被退到。雖然有時要看cashier，有些會忘了給，給的也不多每次只有個9cents or 10 cents但是總比沒有好。說實在就算不給，我覺得我有再努力讓我們的下代以後不是住在朔膠袋裡。
我車上有好幾個環保袋，可是常常忘了拿下車，每次都是已經進了店裡才想起來。的確自備袋子，有很多店家都會退錢。
永和沒退我錢。下次拿去Lucky or Target 試試看。
I know Taiwan 不給plastic bags when buying things from supermarket. 但這裏的環保袋長啥樣啊? 是不是Costco算錢櫃檯在賣綠綠的那種大袋子? 我也有看到Target在賣白色中間有Target logo的袋子，那就是環保袋嗎? Can you use the same 環保袋 for different stores (i.e. use Costco's 環保袋 for Target)?
沒錯，那就是！妳要用自己的袋子也可以，在哪個店都可以用。
