For $1, you'll soon be able to buy a recycled, reusable, washable shopping bag at Wal-Mart to help reduce waste created by those ubiquitous plastic bags.
The bags, made from 85% recycled content, including 4 plastic bottles, hold as much as two or three plastic bags. When they're worn thin, they can be returned to Wal-Mart to be recycled.
And Wal-Mart's next move? Starting Feb. 1, products sold there will be stamped with a numerical score based on its sustainability.
Expect to see the bags in Wal-mart stores nationwide by end of month. But don't buy one unless you really need one. I use my own canvas tote bags and they work just great.
