Designer Grocery Bags <YONHAP NO-1570> (AP)

<yonhapPHOTO-1570> A doll uses her own pink shopping bag instead of a plastic bag during her shopping in a display setup which is part of Japanese government's campaign against global warming in Tokyo Jan. 18, 2007. The dolls, Japan's answer to Barbie dolls, are being used by Japanese Ministry of the Environment in their campaign to promote environmentally friendly lifestyles, such as using shopping bags instead of using non-biodegradable plastic bags. The board, right, reads: I am using my own bag for shopping. Now in the United States a trip to the grocery store is becoming a lot more fashionable as environmentally conscious consumers look to designer totes to bag their greens and express their style. Hermes, Stella McCartney and Consuelo Castiglioni of Marni are among the top designers now offering reusable shopping bags that are chic and pricey. (AP Photo/Katsumi Kasahara)/2007-05-07 23:45:22/
