We all know that plastic kills. It kills the marine life when it gets littered. It seeps toxics into the Earth and takes an eternity biodegrade. Even Ikea has subtly banned it by charging you if you decide to go with plastic. Paper isn’t much better either because well, you are killing the trees. (Am I being too hardcore? Nah, just trying to bring some brevity into this post) Well tree killers, we have a new way method of saving the planet. Go with cotton! It’s durable, reusable, and good for the Environment.

I found these great Ecobags online. The company was also featured in Vogue and even on Oprah I hear. Eco-Bags opened for business in 1989 with a simple goal; to produce quality bags at great prices so that “Reusable becomes a way of life.”
I just ordered the E Shopping system which comes with String bag, Recycled Canvas Bag, and Produce bags so you don’t even have to use the produce plastic to lug your Organic Veggies. It takes all the guess work out of what bags you need. But you can also order it individually. They have regular cotton, hemp, Organic Cotton, and recycled cotton. They also come in array of colors so you are not stuck with drabby oatmeal color. Let your personality shine with neon colors that will make Austin Powers proud.

And what to do with the plastic bags you have been accumulating? Take it to Wal-Mart. They have a plastic bag recycling bin in the entrance of their store. You don’t have to shop there. Just chuck it and be on your merry way.
