Earth-friendly grocery bag ADDENDUM

How could I forget this -- that when you use the self-serve checkout lanes in any store, the electronic bitch instructs you to "place the item IN the bag" after you scan it. But what if I wanna place it in MY tree-hugger bag and not a plastic one geared to Electronic Bitch's system? I CAN'T, dammit, I CAN'T!! How the FUCK are we supposed to save the earth?! Having said that, I've decided I will seek out and buy ONE Mother Earth Grocery Bag this week and do what I can to conserve. I urge all of you to do the same. Just ONE bag can help if everyone bought one. Jesus Christ, suddenly I'm motherfucking Ed Begley.

On another environmental note, I heard some lady on Oprah saying how we should avoid ANYthing with "fragrance" or "parfum" in it. Um, ok, sure. I did an instant check and would've had to toss my fave Right Guard deodorant and Dep hair care products, cherished Bath & Body Works beaded liquid soaps, and my fantastically manly Burberry Brit aftershave lotion. Fuck that shit. Moderation, people. One bag I can deal with, but i'm not rubbing mint leaves from mom's garden on my pits in lieu of "parfum." The earth ain't THAT important.
