    Neat. Always like trying to reuse items, especially plastic bags. I had a dear friend in college who made reusable bags out of old plastic bags. Great way to reduce and reuse!

    I remember THIS YOUNG LADY who made tarps from grocery bags for Haitians displaced by the earthquake. I wonder how much a tarp from grocery bags weighs. Hmmmm....

    I use plastic grocery bags to protect my rain gear and sometimes a hammock in my day pack. What CAN'T be done with plastic grocery bags?

    I also remember someone making thicker sleeping mats out of plastic bags and sending them to Haiti as well.

    I think making a complete set up of up cycle material is totally feasible.
