Re-use your plastic grocery bags

Despite using canvas bags for most of my shopping, I still seem to end up with a fair number of plastic bags from various stores. I've found that they make good liners for small garbage cans, like the sort you have in a bathroom.

If you have dog parks and trails where poop bags are provided at the entrance, you can usually stuff these extra plastic bags into the poop bag box for others to reuse. Please curb your mutt!
