So I was recently having a discussion with a friend on what do you do with your old plastic bags. I know more people are bringing there own re-usable cloth bags to stores, but there are so many bags that still end up in our landfills. Everyone's heard the buzz words "Green, Sustainable, and Eco Friendly" but while browsing one of my favorite crafty DIY sites, Etsy, I came across this inspiring idea. The ultimate shopping bag to eliminate all other bags. 
This pattern uses 20-25 grocery bags which I'm sure you could find around your house or your friends and family. Once completed you have one sturdy, reusable tote so you don't have to use new non-recyclable plastic grocery bags at future trips to the store.
The complete pattern and how to can be found on the Etsy website, http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-tuesday-how-to-make-plarn-crochet-an-eco-friendly-tote-b-7773/
I can't wait to try this pattern out. Thanks for sharing!
