This blog was created to show you that there are alternatives to the disposible plastic bag. In Vancouver there is a large movement to "ban the plastic bag", as they have done in Australia and more recently in China. (Join the Facebook group "ban the plastic bag", and show up for the Vancouver City Council meeting Thursday January 31 to show your support). At Capers there was a sign today, that says they will no longer have disposible plastic bags after Earth Day, which is traditionally an April celebration.
There are lots of recycled reuseable bags available, many with a grocery store logo on them, but there are few other alternatives. What about the soft fruits and tomatoes that are easily bruised and squashed in these bags? Really, the best alternative is a basket. And not just any old basket, but a fashionable, collapsible basket!
These baskets come in an assortment of colours and are available in 2 sizes. I think they are well priced and I know they are very durable.
These environmentally friendly baskets are:
- fashionable
- lightweight
- foldable
- waterproof
- durable
available in 2 sizes:
Small - 16" x 9" x 8" $22 ea.
Large - 18" x 10" x 9.5" $25 ea.
... or purchase two (one of each size) for $45.
You may mix and match colours and patterns. These nifty urban totes are a fashionable and chic alternative to plastic bags! They are lightweight and easy to fold - perfect for shopping, picnics, work, outings with the kids or pets... and don't forget they are great for carrying or storing your Tupperware too! Their uses are limited only by your imagination! They also make great gifts! Give me a call and pop over to see them!
