This blog will act as an online journal for my class to share their experiences as they participate in a sustainability project. First, they will recycle an old t-shirt to create a reusable shopping bag. Second, they will use their t-shirt bag instead of a disposable bag every chance they get for the month of October. Each time they use the bag, they will record their use on this blog. At the end of the month, we will see how many disposable bags they saved.

Matt C, Bag usage 2nd, Lotte & H-mart
Okay so Mr. Derrick had a strange experience that he could not use his own bag at Korean store. So I decided to check it out (even though there is no point to check different stores. May be it was Korean thing so I wanted to check). There is two Korean grocery stores. One is Lotte Mart and another is H-mart (also known as Han-a-rum Mart). First target was Lotte. I decided to buy 5 cans of tuna, Korean snack(also known as Han-Gwa. it is delicious to me, at least), and a pet of Coke. The answer was okay. You can use your bag in Korean stores. The lady who checked my stuffs said that it's quiet occur that young people like me using a recycle bag. I went to H-mart right after that and bought green tea ice cream which is my favorite. And yes, you can use your own bag in H-mart also. I think the reason why Mr. Derrick couldn't use his bag is about their English problem. It's not about racism. She might be get panic due to her lack of English ability, so she said just no. That is what I think, and hope you guys have a great day.
