The Bite:
imageNeed a new bag to carry around that Oscar-worthy script...or maybe just your groceries? Grab a couple Tote2Go bags - they come in pairs (so Ben won't feel left out). T2G tracks down bed sheets and duvet covers at local Goodwills, and whips them into one-of-a-kind, shabby-chic reusable bags. Each set folds into a compact pouch, so you can take 'em everywhere - no more contributing your annual 600-bags-per-person share of paper or plastic to the landfill. And now you can snatch up a set at Eat Local (note: some may resemble - or may actually be - your grandma's old sofa cover). Plus, each bag holds two to three times the weight of a regular grocery bag. How do you like them apples? 
Wanna Try: 
Tote2Go, available at Eat Local, 2400 Queen Anne Ave. N. (206-328-3663). Tote2Go Double Shopper, $40.

Cocktail Fact

Minnie Driver's character in Good Will Hunting, Skylar, is named after Matt Damon's ex-girlfriend, Skylar Satenstein - who later married Lars Ulrich, Metallica's drummer.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters use canvas totes instead of plastic grocery bags, we'll save enough oil to fill 213 kiddie pools.
