Thanks for this list! I didn’t know about Unclutterer a year ago, so it’s a great way to catch up on past ideas and solutions. The closet storage article was very helpful (or will be, when I implement that style of shelving in my office closet, which desperately needs it!) and it was interesting to read all the comments re: reusable bags. I have been using cloth, canvas and my own knitted cotton yarn bags for many years. It’s not that difficult a habit to get into. Just put a small box/basket in the floorboard of your car and keep a supply of bags there for when you shop. After shopping and unloading your reusable bags, stuff them inside one bag and hang it from the doorknob so you’ll remember to grab it the next time you head out to the car, where you tuck it back into the box/basket on the floor. Easy! And a few stores (Lowes Foods, EarthFare, etc.) give you either Green Points (Lowes) or a few cents off your total purchase for each bag you use.
