So today at my trip to Whole Foods I wanted a coffee and I forgot to bring my commuter mug but I had a Starbucks cup in the car from yesterday so I brought that in and had them put my coffee in it. I was kind of hesitant, I thought they might not want to use a Starbucks cup, or think it was weird I was bringing in a used paper cup- but the gal seemed like she could care less.
When I first started shopping with cloth bags that I bought at Oliver's (that said Oliver's on them) I was concerned that other stores might not like me advertising for them. But my experience has been that the checkers really don't care. Or they think it's great I'm saving a bag. I've only had one bagger who acted like it was a pain.
The act of using that paper cup twice before I recycled it was small, but it's the small things that add up, right?!

Good for you for using cloth bags when shopping. I know it took me a long time to finally develop a system for remembering to have them with me when I arrived at the store. After loading kids in the car and everything that goes a long with that craziness, I would pull up to the store and kick myself for not remembering the bags. So I finally have learned that I just need to keep a big supply of bags in my trunk so I don't even have to think about it when i am getting ready to go to the store. It has worked out well for me since then.
You know the cardboard box that sandwich bags come in? It was empty, and I was looking for something to put some Easter candy in from my in-laws. Well, it made a wonderful candy holder. Once the candy is gone, I can recycle it.
