Reusable Shopping Bag
"Swap Up the Ugly Plastic Bag with Chic Reusable Shopping Bags"
Using a reusable shopping bag is the least we can do for the environment. By swapping up the ugly plastic or paper bag with reusable grocery bags you'll
save our earth while maintaining your sense of style with eco friendly fashion! And if you live in the US you have no other choice than to get one since
most major grocery stores have banned plastic bags ;-)

Just think about it. If enough people do them, it can make a big impact.
Reusable shopping bags are available in a wide range of cute designs so you don't really have to stick to plain ones.
You can choose between the abstract printed designs (polka dots, stripes, floral),
the fun statement organic shopping bags with a non-discreet logo that says save our earth or any other eco friendly-stated images, and of course
the plain canvas styles. The choice is yours!
Tips on Buying a Reusable Shopping Bag
Is it a Fair Trade bag?
Fair Trade and Fair Labor practices ensure that employees get a healthy work environment and living wages, and that the
goods are produced in a manner that protects natural resources. So if you want to make a huge difference Fair Trade bags are the way to go.
Go for organic cotton canvas bags
These hold your stuff very well. Plus they've been made without toxins and unsafe materials which only cause
harm to our environment.
Secure the versatile bags
If you're like me and feel weird carrying a bag that doesn't match with the rest of your outfit,
stick to plain and solid colors(black, dark brown, white).
Make it available to you at anytime
I can't even count the number of times I've decided to buy grocery outside only to realize that
I'd forgot
my reusable bag back home. Sounds familiar? The best way to make sure you'll remember to take it with you is to keep the bags in your car and as soon as
you've unpacked the groceries. Even better, buy a few that folds up really small and keep one in your purse, laptop bag, etc. Baggu Bags is an example
of practical reusable shopping bag.
Carry it as much as you can.
That means, don't limit the bag to just groceries. Use it to go shopping or packing your lunch bag
or going for a picnic.
Avoid food cross-contamination
Just a friendly reminder, since you'll be using the same bag frequently, they can pick up bacterias from the food or things
they carry.
So wash them often especially after carrying fresh produce, meat, poultry or fish. Also when buying grocery, place them food in separate bags.
So before you say "but I don't like the reusable shopping bag look", take a look at these:
