Possible Solutions

So, I've been thinking about ideas surrounding the reduction of plastic bag use in the grocery store.
1. Bag depository: take a bag, leave a bag.
These stations exist, but how how well and where do they work best? This is the current station at Rainbow Grocery:

2. Produce bin that travels with you from home, the store and back to the fridge.

Is plastic the evil garbage maker, or is it simply our unwillingness to recycle?
