Envirosax graphic series pouches contain 5 uniquely designed reusable bags.  The pouch is small enough to fit in your glove box or medium sized tote, so you’ll always have a chic eco-friendly alternative to disposable shopping bags right at your finger tips.  Pictured above is the Mikado series featuring fun yet simple Japanese design.

Paper or Plastic? Neither… is displayed on the new reusable shopping bags from Wal-Mart. The bags cost $1 a piece and are available near the checkout area at the store. In the US, we throw away an estimated 100 billion plastic bags a year. Wal-Mart’s new reusable bags are made from 85% recycled material (recycled polyethylene terephthalate or rPET) and should last long enough to replace 50 traditional plastic bags. When the bags wear out they can be returned to Wal-Mart to be recycled. This is part of a larger initiative Wal-Mart has been taking to become more “Green”. Along with the reusable shopping bags, Wal-Mart is offering “Green” consumer products which include CFL light bulbs, organic milk, reduced packaging detergent, and extended life paper products.
