The article actually takes on the issue as to why more people do NOT bring their own thing. But yes, I agree, we should all get some "neat" bags and take them to the grocery.

Crochet or Knit a Recycled Grocery Bag
Want to crochet or knit your own "cooler" grocery bag? I have several free crochet patterns and knit links for those crafters who want to make their own bags from recycled plastic bags. It's a great way to use up those plastic bags and create a reusable tote that you can carry with you to the market. Because these bags are plastic, you can just wipe them clean or even machine wash them on gentle. Just don't put them into the dryer as the plastic will melt. Here are two links to crochet patterns that you can use Crocheted Plarn Tote Bag and Crocheted Plastic Grocery Tote Bag .
I hope this inspires some people to create their own bags. You can add ribbon, beads, and many other embellishments to make your bags cool in your own way. Have fun and just let your creativity go!
