If you’re like me, you have big intentions of pitching in to help the environment by eliminating the need for those icky, wasteful plastic supermarket bags but are constantly forgetting to grab your reusable shopping bags or to stash them in your car nearly every time you head out to pick up some groceries. Well, one company is making an extra effort to help absent-minded consumers like me stick to their “green” commitment.
Cleverly named Bagnesia was started by two women who, similar to me, tend to remember that they’ve forgotten their reusable bags once it’s too late (read: in the parking lot watching eco-friendlier shoppers toting theirs inside or in line at the checkout). Their solution to the bag amnesia, or “bagnesia,” is the Reusable Bag Reminder Kit.
The kit includes a compact washable, water resistant nylon bag that is quite sizable when fully opened but easily stashed in a handbag. Also in the kit is a door hanger and a steering wheel wrap both reading “Grab your bags.” They might not be your first choice for decorating your doorknob or car, but they definitely get the point across.
The reminder kit retails for $14.99. Other Bagnesia products include individually sold reusable shopping bags and the Green Market Kit, which has everything from the reminder kit plus additional compact bags, product bags, and an insulated cold bag. Check out Bagnesia’s online shop for more.
