Baggu's nylon reusable bags can hold between 30 to 50 pounds worth of stuff, but can also fold up into a little five-by-five-inch pouch for easy storage. The bags come in a wide range of cute colors and patterns, made from a non-recycled ripstop nylon ($10) or an option made with 40% recycled nylon, sourced from pre-consumer waste. Use your Baggu in place of plastic bags at the grocery store or as a tote bag to carry literally anything else. Plus, for every reusable bag sold during the month of April, Baggu will donate $0.10 to the Surfrider Foundation to help keep plastic pollution out of the ocean.
Most of us have become accustomed to putting all of our fresh produce into plastic bags when we go grocery shopping. These bags offer a solution that's just as convenient, but a lot more eco-friendly. They're made from a breathable mesh that's easy to fold, take on the go, and clean — just throw the bags in the washing machine when it's time for a wash. Drawstrings keep your food secure and the color-coded tops help you separate and organize produce. For just $10, you get five multipurpose bags that can go beyond just produce too — use them to store toys and small accessories, or even in lieu of packing cubes when you travel.
Swapping plastic grocery bags out for a reusable canvas option is a simple way to lessen your environmental impact, and maybe even save some money doing it — stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods will give you a discount on your purchase for bringing your own bags. If you're looking for a bag with a great aesthetic, check out Society6. All of the canvas tote bags have the same simple shape, but each is printed with a unique design from an actual artist. It won't be hard to find something that fits your style, whether that's a colorful abstract print or a group of avocados doing yoga.
