Am I the only one who accumulates all the small fruits and vegetables grocery bags under my sink, in the hopes of finding a purpose for them someday? I quickly dropped this idea and now opt for reusable produce bags. Easily realizable, this project will make you feel like you are helping out and doing your part for the environment!
