Totes Environmental
I hate plastic shopping bags every major supermarket and drugstore hands you. Hate them. Not just because they are environmental destroyers but because they suck. If they're weighted down with anything heavier than one pound they bite into your skin as you carry them so you have a red, angry groove on your hand when you get home. I try to bring a tote bag with me when I go shopping, but when I'm coming straight from work I don't have it on me and it doesn't pan out. Until now!!!
Introducing, Envirosax!!!
My bag looks a bit like this, but is not this one. I couldn't find a picture of mine. This tote is awesome because if you're not using it you can fold it up into a wee bundle the size of, um...a pack of smokes? Yeah, about that size. And unfolded it holds some serious goods. I carried groceries,a magazine, and a book home in it last night. Plus the bag itself is so lightweight that it doesn't add to the weight of your good. Unlike my beautiful red leather bag.
I love it, but man alive will this bag misalign your shoulders after heavy usage. (It would probably help if I carried less junk, but that's another issue for another day.)
Anyway, the point is when you're not using the Envirosax you can carry with you: in a pocket, in another bag, in the crotch of your pants if you like to stuff and I'm not saying you do.Then when you need said bag you unfurl it like a banner to your environmental righteousness and use! Chicks love that. I swear. Just don't let them see you reaching into your pants to retrieve it.
