Just want to share a website, so that more people can take an active role in saving earth.
The website is:
http://www.ReusableBagsGiveaway.com

As the website name said, you can get free reusable bags from them, the bags are not your normal boring looking reusable bags, they're like designer bags, very stylish and functional. I was kind of skeptical at first, but after I received my bags in less than week, I'm now a big believer, and happy to be playing my role in saving planet earth.
