Every time you go to the store, you are bringing your reusable canvas bags – saving yourself from the conundrum of paper or plastic. You feel great about remembering this as you go through all the grocery isles, and then you come to the produce section. More plastic bags!
Yes, you can recycle them (see last post on this at PiedmontGoesGreen.com), or you can use them for your dog’s poop, but you probably already have more than you need. Now there is an affordable and practical option – reusable mesh produce bags. You can see through them, wash them, refrigerate them, and even stuff them to take up next to no space. Some are made from organic cotton, some from recycled plastic bottles. Prices: 5 for $11, or $3-5 each.
Another use for them – Buy extra to save some for wrapping up a small gift. How green and practical is that if your wrapping paper is a re-useable produce bag?
