Plastic bags are so yesterday. The new (and responsible) thing to do is to use reusable cloth bags.
Plastic bags require oil for production and DO NOT break down in landfills for many many years. Additionally, as they do break down, they release harmful gasses and toxins into the environment.
We can all counter these negative effects by making small changes in our daily routines. Some tips include:
- Bring lunch from home rather than buying it while at work or school. Use a reusable lunch bag and a sandwich-keeper rather than paper bags and sandwich baggies. You’re also more likely to pack a healthier lunch as compared to just buying whatever is available for purchase at lunchtime. (Bonus: a lunch brought from home generally costs less than one purchased at work or school.)
- Use reusable flatware rather than the plastic disposable type. This is a great money-saver because you won’t have to keep buying plastic forks that you will use one time and throw away.
- Use a reusable shopping bag when you go to the grocery store. Many stores are now selling reusable bags made out of repurposed plastic (how smart!). Cloth/canvas bags are great for their durability and they’re easy to throw in the washer once they get dirty.
The featured bag is 100% cotton canvas with an exclusive print designed by Desuer. The bag is printed on both sides with alternate color prints on front and back.
