I just keep them in our vehicles now.  Anali Orr says: http://www.v2v.net/actions/re-useable-shopping-bags/conversation/rss#conversation6749 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:29:36 -0800 6749@http://www.v2v.net/actions Yes, I found a Starbucks reusable bag on StarbucksCoffeeGear.com....here's the link! here's the link!]]> Liz Baker says: http://www.v2v.net/actions/re-useable-shopping-bags/conversation/rss#conversation6732 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:08:40 -0800 6732@http://www.v2v.net/actions For those that work in the SCC, in our gift shop upstairs we do have a smaller reusable bag made from recycled material with the Starbucks logo, much like the grocery store ones but I haven't seen them any where else! I use it to carry my lunch to work. I think it also comes down to changing bad habits; DO keep bags in your car, or by the front door. DO talk to people about it or gift them something as a reminder. That and web surf! lol, i think the coolest idea on here was the patterns for the produce bags, i would have not known where to find them otherwise. I'm going to make some at my desk :) You guys are GREAT for posting your ideas.
