Envirosax: plastic bag alternative
Feeling guilty about all those plastic bags stuffed under your sink? Me too. Lift the shame by using Envirosax instead. They are made of lightweight polyester and each bag holds about two plastic bags worth. The patterns are bright and fun and the bags could easily be used for carrying books, recycling, beach stuff, your lunch, etc. One Envirosax is $7.50 each or get a set of 5 for $35 (saving $2.50).
Too bad I already have a half dozen Trader Joes canvas bags (not as cute but much cheaper at $3 a pop).
Plus there's always the chance that I will win $25 worth of groceries in their reuseable-bag raffle. Envirosax also sells hemp bags for -gasp- $22. Incredibly, the hemp bags are sold out.
