Field Guide to Bags

Posted on October 30, 2009 by Plasticless

When life gives you plastic bags hanging in your lemon tree... on TwitpicThe White Supermarket Shopping Bag has a very wide range and can be seen year round nesting in fruit trees, evergreens, even tall grasses…

Suprisingly, these feral bags do not breed in the wild. They have a lifespan of several hundred years.

    For many ‘aware’ consumers, using reusable grocery/shopping bags is a simple, conscious choice. Unfortunately, there are still millions of consumers who are completely unaware of the lasting negative impact of use-and-toss bags. And, even if they are aware, the perceived hassle of using reusable bags is enough of a deterrent.

    I think a change in perception and habit is the answer to getting more consumers to ‘make the switch’. Thanks for spreading the word. I, too, hope to help by offering The Tote Buddy. It neatly organizes reusable bags, allowing them to be kept nearby and handy for every shopping trip.

    Hopefully, it’ll help people REMEMBER to use their reusable bags… a really simple, extremely impactful step.

    Thanks for the info, Julie:)

    Extra ways to help remember your reusable bags are to keep them with your shopping list and to write bags on the list.

    I keep them in the car. Never forget them that way.
