we're also interested in anyone making cut down beer/rum etc bottles for drinking glasses etc.

also cotton grocery bags, and recycled plastic bags. We are trying to be more committed to using compostable ingredients (buying veg without packaging for example, not using plastic bags), compostable packaging and recycled and recyclable packaging. We are trying to use paper packaging and to encourage customers to bring their own refillable water bottles and containers. Ihope that san pedranos will support us in this effort and i hope that we can encourage others to be a plastic bag free society here on la isla bonita. thanks!

Kudos to your business for thinking about the impact of packaging and encouraging customers to do the same! Here in the US ten years ago, no one took their own bags to the grocery stores, and now it is widely acceptable. Stores even sell inexpensive ($1/each or thereabouts) reusable bags for customers to bring back each time they shop. My husband and I have been bringing our own bags to stores for years, and while we used to be considered wacky hippies, now we're mainstream. We are going to be moving to San Pedro next year and will be continuing in our hippie ways. We'll definitely be customers of your Deli and will bring our own bags!

Together, we can all help to change the world. :-)

Love it! When we are (finally) open, we will be using the woven re-usable bags and provide incentives for return bags and "refilling" bottles....

On another note, wine corks cannot be re-used, but they are great for garden soil as they provide lightweight aeration for the soil. So, don't toss those corks!

Perhaps someone out there is proficient with knitting needles...you can make a re-usable shopping bag out of plastic shopping bags. See link below.

I have a friend who is going to try this same pattern, but use the tape from old VHS tapes as the "yarn".
