When it comes to protecting our environment, minimizing waste, overproduction and reducing the amount of microplastics in our bodies - we have a choice to make better choices! Especially when it comes to having a handy, sturdy and reliable bag for our shopping trips. We recommend a clear tote bag or a mesh bag which are both very easy to clean, and function beautifully as a reliable tool.
" Areas with bans can eliminate almost 300 single-use plastic bags per person per year, according to a study released last month by Environment America."
Research by the United Nations Environment Programme shows that simply reusing bags enough times significantly lowers their environmental impact.
“If a bag is used for shopping twice instead of once, it has only half the environmental impact per shopping round,” the U.N. report said.
- Four to 8 times for paper bags.
- Five to 10 times for thicker plastic bags made of high-density polyethylene.
- Ten to 20 times for durable “tote” style bags sold at grocery stores.
We also have bags with top loading capabilities which is PERFECT for laundry. You can carry a good amount of clothing in our bags to the laundromat.
