A few years ago, my husband and I purchased some high-quality reusable shopping bags to use on our grocery shopping trips.  While we are pleased to be doing our bit to help the earth, we have found that in our household, we actually do have a need for plastic bags occasionally, to hold especially smelly diapers as well as dirty kitty litter.  So, what’s a green aware mom to do?  Here’s a few ideas that we’ve used, but I’d love to hear more!

1. Plastic bags from spontaneous trips to the drugstore, or local convenience store
2. The plastic wrapping on our daily delivered newspaper works well for dirty diapers
3. Produce or bread bags from the grocery store
4. “Donated” plastic bags from relatives who don’t need them

How do you dispose of dirty diapers and kitty litter?  Please let me know!
