Has anyone looked where the reusable grocery bags the grocery stores carry are made??
QFC - CHINA
Central Market (Seattle) - CHINA
PCC (Seattle) - CHINA
Albertsons - CHINA
I have not checked out Whole Foods or Trader Joe's yet and and soon as I do I'll update this list.
I'm not sure about you but when I think of Environmentally Friendly China is one of the last places I think of.

Rant - Save the Elephants!
Africa has allowed their stockpile of Elephant Ivory to be sold to the highest bidder. And they have allowed China to be one of these importers. China is already the largest buyer of ILLEGAL ivory and other endangered animals. Not to mention their human right violations and possible organ harvesting from religious prisoners amongst their own people.
The fact that CITES has allowed the sale of this ivory is unbelievable. This stock pile should have been destroyed years ago. Will you sign this petition against this move?
You can read more about it here and here
**********************************
The decision to sanction the sale of ivory to China is not only ill informed and irresponsible, it has potentially signed the death warrant for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of wild elephants in Africa
Elephants cannot speak for themselves and it is the responsibility of compassionate, caring and informed men and women to give a voice to elephants. We are therefore asking our supporters to sign a petition against the sanctioning of China as a legal buyer of ivory.
Sign Petition
We have already added our name to this petition and hope you will do the same. We would also urge you to copy and paste the statement below into an email to your friends and colleagues, so that they too can choose to sign this petition and speak out for elephants.
The author of this petition will present it to Gordon Brown, as well as representatives of the CITES standing committee.
***********************************
I'm also asking that you watch what you buy. If it is made in China put it back on the shelf, do you really need more cheap plastic crap in your house? By American, or for my Canadian friends and family, By Canadian. Same goes for my English friends. Buy and support your local merchants who are trying to make a living selling good NON TOXIC products and who don't use child labor.
Thank you,
Kim
