You've got things backwards; you're supposed to start Emacs every
morning, and never leave it. Only run bash from Emacs :).
That's what I do. I set _all_ my environment variables, and path, in
.emacs. Actually, I have several small snippets of elisp that let me
change the environment variables for different projects. Easier than
maintaining bash scripts or using the control panel.

Think of Emacs as your shell, and bash as a low-level subsidiary tool :).
