I start to sweat while in line at the grocery store debating over what to say when they as me — paper or plastic? I so badly want to say “No thanks! I have an eco-friendly organic-of-course shopping bag!”. The fact that I could never hope to get my hands on the Anya Hindmarch I’m Not a Plastic Bag Reusable Shopping Bag, I’ve been searching around for the most stylish bag to buy because the better the bag looks the more motivated I’ll be to whip it out when I run into the market. So far these adorable bags from Envirosax are the best looking bags I could find. I’d feel good (environmentally good and looking good!) about toting these around. Envirosax Shopping Bags At $8.50 each these are a steal! They come in so many colors and designs you’re sure to find a design for your tastes. They even have these handy pouches to hold a set of bags for those major shopping trips. Other options While searching for other cute bags I came upon these non woven eco bags in the UK. It doesn’t seem they are selling them yet. They look pretty cute though! DIY For anyone with a mean arts and crafts itch, there’s a great video at ThreadBanger that shows you step by step how to make your own reusable shopping bag: http://www.threadbanger.com/thread-heads/episode/THR_20080201
