Grab those bags and use them again and again

by

Plastic bags have been under scrutiny for years now and with that come the making of useful canvas and other bags such as the ones that can be packed in a backpack, your pocket, or even in a purse. These bags make it easier for you to steer clear of the plastic bags that are no almost everywhere you go anymore. There are certain companies and businesses that are allowing you to bring back the plastic bags to be recycled into new bags and this is a great way to help keep them out of landfills and clear up the environment, but just to recycle them puts a strain on the eco-system of earth as well.

Reusable bags are as easy as ever to pack away and almost everyone has at least one by now and to add to that you can now find ones that zip closed and tuck into anywhere so you are never without. Here are some of the best easy-to-carry bags available.

1. Chico Bags: This company is all about reducing the strain on the environment with their options of The Original bag, the Vita, the RePete and the Limited Edition. These bags are easy to carry in and store in the glove box of your car. Bags run about $10.

2. BAGGU Bags: These bags, when used, will replace about 300 to 700 disposable bags. They are bright in color and care really fun to use. The company offers the bag options of the regular Baggu, penguin bag, produce bag, Lincoln bag, baby bag, the big bag and even a grocery kit that comes with plenty of Baggu bags to carry all of your groceries.

*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: Taking showers can use a lot of water and a lot of water gets wasted as well during showers. To help with this try timing yourself with a shower time from Ripple Products. You can even make it a game and try to beat other family members.

    Those are some really cute totes! My personal favourite in reusable bags are Carebags, which are stretchy, strong, and longlasting produce and bulk food bags. I like them better than conventional totes because firstly, you can buy, wash, and store vegetables right in the bag; and secondly, because of their innumerable uses! All my friends love them, and we all use them in different ways! I travel a lot with my job, and I’m also kind of a neat freak, so I take advantage of their transparency and use them to organize my things in my suitcase, create toiletry and first aid kits, etc. They’re a very handy thing to have on-the-go, and make grocery shopping at home an eco-friendly, plastic-bag-less breeze.
