B Happy bags which are made in the USA using upholstery weight fabrics or recycled water bottles are truly very sturdy. We don’t know exactly what she does with them, but Christina Clark said that she had easily carried 30 pounds of apples in the bag with utmost ease (keep some apple juice/pie/etc for us, too, please )

These bags have colorful prints, are easily washable and can fold up to a size that can conveniently fit in to your handbag or even your pocket, and the handles are made of heavy duty webbing which gives it a better grip and a more resistance power. Up to a ton of groceries, they say. Since they do not have a plastic lining inside, they can be folded easily without being all crumpled up.

You can get the happy bags in lime green zebra print, as holiday and seasonal theme bags as well as a reusable Trick and Treat bag. More other modes are available and you should definitely at least check up on them. Price is $24. Looking great from my end, how about you?

Beijing has a national ban on the use of ultra-thin plastic bags as part of its “habit revolution.” The until now free super-thin plastic bags have been replaced by thick plastic bags that must be bought for about ¥10 ($1.50). Or, shoppers can bring their snazzy green tote bags. Because it is so hard to determine the thickness of a bag with the naked eye, China’s Ministry of Commerce has instigated the use of “checkers” (not the game) to determine a bag’s thickness.

We wonder, can they really measure the thinness of a bag? In any event, this is a big step in not being wasteful. Especially when there are tens of millions of people not using umpteen plastic bags a day. Add to Beijing southwest China’s Yunnan province will also ban plastic bags beginning January 1, 2009. Good job, China!

“Hey you! You with that plastic bag. Bring it over here so I can use my handy dandy plastic bag thickness checking micrometer.”

“Uh, okay.”

“Yo, dude. This bag is too thick. You get a verbal warning. Next time, it’s the lethal injection van for you.”

There is a plastic bags invasion that I am sure you’re aware of. It happens where you live, where I live so it’s a widely spread disease that we doesn’t seem to be able to fight with. Other than the radical solutions I’ve heard so far that forbids supermarkets from offering their customers plastic bags, nothing was as funny as creating a chair out of them.

Designed by Kitsch-U-Like the recycled carrier bag chair needs about 2,000 plastic bags stuffed inside that you will have to manually fill. It sells for £75.00 (about $151) and if you will build your own the self reward of putting so many plastic bags off the streets would be priceless.

You will see that this rubbish piece of furniture is actually a very comfortable chair that all your friends will want to stay on. Let us know if you happen to own one.
