Did you read this article in Salon the other day about how plastic bags are ruining the earth? We're pretty much committed to reusable grocery bags in our house, but somehow the plastic keeps creeping in at a pretty alarming rate. This kite project is a great way to use a few, but it's going to have to get pretty darn windy to make a dent in our plastic bag collection.

I guess if we decide we need more reusable bags, I can always make a few of these sturdy bags knitted from strips of plastic shopping bag. Now if there's a way to make school clothes from plastic bags, I'd love to hear about it.
