Hello. My name is Sarah and I suffer from Eco Guilt.

Somebody refered to me as "granola" the other day. It sorta stopped me in my tracks. I mean, don't get me wrong, I "do my part" and I appreciate the Earth as much as the next person. I do my best to pare down the amount of waste my family produces. I carpool. I recycle. But Granola? Me? Come on. I shave my pits and own neither a pair of Birkenstocks or anything tiedyed. I do, however, drive a Subaru.   

Then I got to thinking. I guess I am kinda granola, but fashionably so. At least, I try to be. I buy organic, and do love a good thrift store find. I suppose my most essential carbon footprint reducer are my RuMe bags. I love them. So much so that I wrote a song about them. See?

Oh RuMe Bag 
(Sung to 'Oh Christmas Tree')

Oh RuMe bag, Oh Rume bag 
How I love thee, RuMe bag.
You are the best and Eco kind.
You are abundant in design.
Oh RuMe bag oh RuMe bag.
How I love thee, RuMe bag. 



Okay, okay. It's not SO inventive, but I really do love these little bags. I use them for all things food-in-tow. Anything I would put in a baggie, I use a RuMe bag. They are just lovely!!

They come in all sorts of colors and sizes. I have ten of them. Yes. 10. And they are used DAILY. I have the pockets and baggies. Can't say enough good things. RuMe bags!
