Happy Earth Day! That’s right, I’ll take any excuse to shop for a new bag, and Earth Day is today’s.
Reusable totes are one of the easiest, trendiest and most fashionable ways to help the planet. This Envirosax Organic Bamboo Bag is even eco-friendly in more ways than one.
It’s reusable. Duh. It’s also made from bamboo and linen. Bamboo is 100% sustainable, biodegradable and grown without “assistance” like fertilizers or pesticides, while linen is a great choice for vegans. It is more sustainable and lower-impact than leather as well.
The bag comes with its own little pouch, great for storing in your glove compartment or tote, so you’re never caught needing to sheepishly accept a plastic bag at the grocery store. It’s supposed to roll up to the size of a piece of sushi! Which is impressive. But, my experience is that you can never get reusable totes rolled up as small as they come from the manufacturer. You’ll surely be able to assign it a small space in your handbag, though.
The bag can safely hold up to 22 lbs so you can certainly throw that gallon of milk in. It is questionable how often you could fit 22 lbs of stuff into an 18 x 16 inch bag, however. I do think the biggest drawback to these is the size. On a typical trip to the mall you might fill it up in the first store.
But to keep on hand for everyday use, this seems like a great choice.
