If you do design work for retailers, why not suggest that their shopping bags go green? 100% biodegradable shopping bags are available, imprintable with soy-based inks, that are made from non-genetically modified starch. The look just like plastic bags, but you can throw them on the compost pile and make them part of next spring’s vegetable garden.
