DANGERS OF REUSABLE GROCERY BAGS

 Personally, I am not big on reusable grocery bags.  Yes, I do recycle, and I am in favor of doing so.  However, I am not one of the people who think we are going to drown in garbage, so I do not use reusable grocery bags, but I know many of you do.  If you do use the reusable bags, are you keeping them clean or do you empty them, fold them and take off with them again?  A recent survey found that of those who use such bags, 85% do not clean them!  These bags can pick up illness-causing bacteria from unwashed and uncooked foods!  If you use these bags, do yourself and your family a favor and wash them with hot soapy water after use,  especially if you carry produce and/or meats in them.  Don't make yourself or a family member sick to "save the environment".
