For a fun little read introducing young children to the importance of reusable bags, check out My Bag and Me, by Karen Farmer with illustrations by Gary Currant. Complete with a real bag discreetly packed within the book, it is a quick and simple piece for tiny hands and the story reminds us all that for every trip to the store, carrying one’s own bag saves energy and natural resources. As I’m hearing more and more of my friends worry about eco-angst in our children, we can use books such as this to teach them, early on, efficacy instead of despondency.
