I love the idea of biodegradable trash bags, but they’re just so darn expensive. I mean seriously, you’re buying them to throw away! It’s not exactly the easiest expense to justify.

And while I suspect I’ll eventually make the switch, for now my focus is on trying to limit the number of bags that my family uses. One clever trick that we’ve employed: using the plastic wrap from large toilet paper packages as trash bags.

I figure they were bound to go out in the trash anyway, so they may as well go out as the trash bag instead of as the trash.

Have you found other ways to green your garbage bags?
