New Year: Registered for My First Race and My New Eco Reusable Shopping bag

So the race is on! 10 weeks to Premiärmilen.
I am now registered for my first race of the year, taking place on the 27th of March, 2011. I just couldn’t wait until May for the planned 5k funrun. Surprisingly to me, this time I am more excited about the preparation process than the race itself. In the past it has been the other way around.

In the mean time, I am enjoying my reusable eco-friendly Tesco bag that I received from Dublin a couple of weeks ago. 

Beatle eco bag at arrival.

 Background
Tesco, Dublin in 2007 – that was when I first saw them. I don’t know whether they came in different colors but the branch I visited had them only in black. I thought they were elegant and very practical. Being reusable, I would have to buy less plastic/polythene bags. Therefore, in my book, environmentally friendly – so I got a few to last for a while.



Durability almost expired.

 Tesco, Dublin in 2009. I bought a couple more. I still use them but they are so old now so the beatle one couldn’t have landed at a better time.

Old bag and new bag.

The minute I saw the beatle bag I fell hard in love with it. I just couldn’t imagine having it used for anything else except being admired (very weird… I know). I got over it quickly. The next day I couldn’t wait to go grocery shopping. I have several bags, that are of the local store brand but I find Tesco’s bags (so far) slightly more charming.

The slogan reads, “Every little helps”. So true when it comes to preserving our environment.

Thanks, Am – I really do appreciate. Yve, thanks for carrying it home.
