I just saw this story on CNN and was blown away by what you have done and are doing. My husband and I are big time greenies and know first hand how something you do can start a domino effect with others. I hope your doing this creates that affect. I know the recycling program my husband started at his office sure did. We have recycled over 15,000 cans and bottles in just over a year from people in his 40 person department! Way to go!

First off, what you are doing is amazing and wonderful. The amount of garbage produced in this country every year is disturbing and I want to do anything I can to minimize my own garbage production!

I would love to get a pretty bag I can use to help save the environment!

Hi! I'm a Belmont graduate (and spent some time in art classes there) and I was so excited to see you on CNN (especially since I'm in Florida now). How fun! I love what you're doing. I'm passing around the pattern to other in my family and hopefully we can make these as Christmas gifts. I'm not going to request a bag right now because I know it costs you time and money...unless I flub on making my own and need one for reference. Then, I might be back. Keep up the good work and may God bless you in all that you do!
Thefourspades at aol dot com I live way out in Oregon and just saw you on CNN. What an awesome thing you are doing! It must make you feel pretty good that you are doing something this big to help our planet. I hope I'm chosen to receive one of your bags (I love all bags, use them, and keep them for a long time.)Whether I get one or not, keep up the good work! How do I send you fabric?

Hi Green Bag Lady,
I would love one of your bags. I'm trying to teach my kids to be aware of how overconsumption is affecting our environment. One of your cheery bags would help us with that!
Thanks for all you are doing.

Especially as a Nashvillian, I was so proud to see your magnanimous story on CNN. (NHN.slate@gmail.com.)
This is so awesome! The bad news is I was laid off from my job on Friday due to the economic troubles. Good news is that I was home today to see your info on CNN! I have been really working recently to go green! Would love to have one of your bags here in Kansas and would definitely use it! I've been trying to think about an economical idea for Christmas gifts this year - this just might be the one!

I did not know anyone else was doing this. I have made about 300 crocheted cotton market bags in the past 4 years. These have been given out as luncheon and hospitality suite favors, birthday and Christmas gifts, gift bags for other items (such as baby shower gifts), and let's conserve resources gifts. My email is rubberbug@cox.net
I love that you can make bags in 10 minutes! I hope I win one, if not, I'll download the pattern and try to make my own. Thank you for sharing!

Keep up the great work. My mom tried the Green Bags years ago before it was "in." People weren't interested in the hassle back then, so this a huge change. I'm glad that people actually know that it is the right thing to do now to people like yourself. I would love to have a "genuine" Green Bag Lady Bag. Thanks for the pattern also.

As one who lived through the first "energy crisis" of the mid 70's, I am truly heartened to know that young people today are as environmentally conscious as I was back then. We made a difference then, we can make a difference now. Thank-you and keep up the great work!

I love your bags and would love to tote on around town! cafree@gmaildot.com
WOW this is an amazing Idea....
what an amazing help to people..
smithersATmroonyDOTcom
i would love one of these bags :)
I think that what you are doing is great. My mom always toted canvas bags to the store when I was a kid. I asked her to keep her eyes open because I wanted some for my own. Then almost everywhere you go you can get a reusable bag! I am so happy that people are starting to care about the planet, every little bit helps.
Thanks for all that you do!

Talking about some global impact! Kudos to you and CNN.
The problem usually rellies on consumer goods producers, who wrap with unnecessary plastic whatever they are selling.Vendors shall have a commitment too. I remember that in certain shops in Germany you actually get some cash back when you leave the packing at the counter, which makes sense coz it makes the products even more expensive and we are paying for somenthing thats is going right to the bin and the pollute for at least 500 years.
Amazing job, I'd really apreccciate having a signed bag!
I promise some pictures back.
Greetings from Mexico!

I would LOVE a bag and I promise to use it! I acutally reuse my plastic store bags, at the store. Once the rip, I put them in the bag recycle box.
I love what you are doing.

Oh I forgot the link to a BBC article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3116318.stm
Shopping list: Nectarines, kiwifruit, avocado, goat's cheese, baked potatoes, sliced ham, olives, and cheesecake for afters.
Rubbish generated: four plastic bags, clingfilm, six plastic pots, trays - one polystyrene foam, two plastic and one pulped cardboard - a cake-shaped plastic box and a cardboard box with plastic windows, all packed into a plastic carrier bag.
So what to do with this lot once lunch has been scoffed? Straight into the bin it goes. While we are encouraged - and will soon be required by law - to recycle our waste, it is not always straightforward to put this into practice.
The one tray made from cardboard is biodegradable and can be composted (by those with gardens). While the local supermarket has a collection point for carrier bag recycling, no other type of plastic is accepted.
Down the road at the recycling centre, there are bins for newspapers, aluminium cans, glass, even clothing and shoes, but not plastics. The local council is not much help either; plastic isn't included in its kerbside collection.
Yet this material makes up the bulk of our household waste. Each year, Britons get through 5m tonnes of plastic, barely one-tenth of which is recycled.
Hi, I loved the CNN spot. What a great idea. Would realy ike to have one of your bags. My e-mail addy is unicorn_uniatyahoodotcom. Thankyou so much for the wonderful job your doing :)
I saw you on T.V. this morning and you are amazing! Love what you are doing and I will do my best to spread the word! I hope to get a bag someday!

Great Job on CNN...we've been using recycled bags for years! Would love to have one of yours for my parents. larahammes@gmail.com
Hi! I am Maria, the ArchAngel at MercifulHeaven.org and I'm giving you our first EarthAngel Award. I love what you're doing to make a difference one small step at a time. Good luck and God Bless!
Hello. I truly appreciate your efforts to better our world...and it is amazing that you do this for free!! In my state (Oregon), the local legislature is pushing to pass a law that will charge shoppers a 5 cent fee for those who do not bring their own bags to the store. Perhaps a drastic change for some, but definitely a step in the right direction.
Thanks for saving the planet - and for the inspiration!

Hi! My name is Joyce, and I live in Arizona. I saw your story this morning on CNN and was so excited! I am a single mother of 5 lovely daughters, and also run a daycare from my home. We recycle like crazy, teaching all of the children about it! I have wanted to get some canvas bags at our grocery store, but can't ever seem to have enough extra money to get one! I was so disappointed when I got online (with the kids looking over my shoulder) and found that your demand now exceeds your supply. No surprise there! Hopefully we will win one! I don't sew, but have friends who do, and they are now going to be sending you fabric. What a wonderful lesson your are teaching our future generation! Thank you and keep up the good work!!

Hey! I am originally from Kitzbuehel, Austria, but am living in Alabama right now. I saw you on CNN today and I think it's wonderful what you're doing. I always hated how many bags they give you for your groceries here, sometimes even one per item. You have to pay for your bags where I'm from.

Hello!
I saw your bit on CNN today and I was astonished! I couldn't believe how awesome this is and how generous of you to go out of your way to make people a bag and help our lovely planet earth. My family and I are trying hard to be more eco friendly. If you are giving out freebies still I would love to have one. Thank you so much for what you are doing to help make our earth a better place to live!

Teresa,
I just got the update about your project from the Mounds View Class of '87 website. The CNN interview was fabulous. I would love a bag so I can share your story with people in your old stomping ground, New Brighton. They just put in an ALDI in Mounds View and it would be a great place to use a bag.
