It has certainly made a difference to the generaly rubbish in towns and countryside though.

This is the reverse.

My version, rather than buy a bag imported from the far east.

Sorry, Jerry,
I didn't mean to hijack your post. I do like your bag holder, especially as you have pieced it rather than just using one piece of fabric. And it's a really cheerful colour, which might prompt others in the family to use it!

Jerrie..your bag is really nice!
That's the BEST one I have seen. Most of the ones I see are one piece and a bit on the ugly side, but yours is really pretty!
Great job!
I agree Patti.
Growing up and even when we lived in GA, we used the regular clay stuff. I would just chuck the contents into the woods every couple days. Now with the scoopable, I use the plastic grocery bags (the commissary LOVES using them..put one item in, bag if full, they think)
Guess I'd have to go back to using Baggies like we do when traveling with the "kids" if they decide to tax here too.
