My Eco Bag - The Shopping Solution for Reducing and Reusing

Reusable shopping bags are a must have for every eco-savvy consumer, but a normal family grocery trip isn't always easy with typical reusable totes.  Kristen Brown, founder of Green Waste Solutions, has created the answer - a convenient, easy to store system of 4 versatile shopping bags.
My Eco Bag System can replace 15 to 30 disposable bags with each use, eliminating about 700 bags per family from the waste stream each year.  Each bag is designed to be easy to lift and a breeze to carry, with the ability to hold as much as 40 pounds, making it an ideal system for both city and urban shoppers.
About the System
The 4-piece eco shopping solution nests together for easy storage, then fits perfectly within your shopping cart for convenient and timely checkout.  Every component to My Eco Bag System has a specific function at the store, perfectly organizing your weekly purchases and saving as much time at home as it does at the store.
  • The smallest bag, 13 by 8 by 15, features fabric bands to keep glass jars and bottles in place during transport.
  • A 14 by 9 by 15 bag boasts an insulated liner and zipper closure - ideal for cold foods and frozen items that need protection during longer drives.
  • The third bag, measuring 17 by 10 by 17, is designed with an easy to clean anti-bacterial liner to carry fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • The largest bag, 18 by 11 by 17, holds boxes, cans, and the rest of your supplies while also providing storage for the entire system when the bags are not in use.
All the bags are made of 100% recyclable polypropylene 5 and are created to be a long lasting replacement to disposable paper and plastic.  Durable handles and roomy interiors are sure to make My Eco Bag System a favorite household staple.
Get Your Eco Bag System
My Eco Bag System, along with other chic reusable shopping bag models in the works, are available through the Grocery Bag Solution website.  The 4-bag system is just $29.95, plus a $4.95 shipping and handling fee.  
My Eco Satchel - an oversized everyday bag with plenty of compartments and pockets, as well as My Eco Tote - a stylish, triangular shaped bag, ideal for commuters, will both be available soon through the website.

EcoBags - Chic Reusable Totes That Make a Statement

Reusable shopping bags are a convenient solution to the growing problem of wasted plastics and paper.  Last week, I was lucky enough to win my very own Totes with Quotes from EcoBags.com and Green-Parents!  
Already becoming my favorite reusable tote, the bag is made of natural, recycled cotton and much more durable than the bags I've bought from the local supermarket.  The bag enjoyed it's first shopping trip this weekend, carrying 6 ears of corn, a head of lettuce, celery, a couple tomatoes, and several peaches - with plenty of room to spare!
The 'Talk Green to Me' design is one of many from the EcoBags collection of Totes with Quotes. Besides the earth-friendly recycled cotton featured in this particular design, materials include organic cotton, hemp and cotton blends, and non-woven polypropylene.  All EcoBags are easy to clean - mostly machine washable - and range in price from $5.99 to $16. 
The bags are roomy enough to rescue at least 4 or 5 plastic grocery bags and offer a fashionable look that can serve many purposes - from toting library books to carrying beach supplies!  
About EcoBags
EcoBags was founded in 1989 with a mission to reduce waste.  Twenty years later, the company offers one of the greatest selection of reusable, eco-friendly bags and totes available and have earned recognition from some of our favorite green celebrities, including Jessica Biel and Tom Sizemore.  
Besides the chic Totes with Quotes line, EcoBags' products also include reusable lunch bags, classic string bags, and BPA-free water bottles and sippy cups.  Custom printing is also available on both bags and bottles - the perfect way to show your green spirit for businesses and organizations.
