Eco-entrepreneur Judy Lazar and I think alike. Well, I'm not the founder of the completely reusable shopping system Credo Bags, so I'll give her brownie points for being the more proactive one. But here's what led her to start the line of reusable bags for all types of shopping: she was struck by the fact that shoppers carry their groceries in reusable bags but fill them with plastic bags to package their components.

Credo Bags are currently available for purchase online at credobags.com. The bags featured here range from $5 to $16 CAN.

Would you get a good use out of these?
