Cities from Maui to San Francisco, L.A. to Austin, and Seattle to East Hampton have passed laws to reduce or completely ban the use of plastic bags at grocery check-outs. And, while an ordinance may have yet to be passed in your city, opting to choose plastic is not only a fashion “don’t” (flimsy plastic + bow tie = huh?), it is also horrible for the environment. So, we advise investing in a quality tote or two. I know, I know…the plastic bags are FREE. But, the totes are reusable, fashionable, environmentally friendly, and highly functional (e.g., use for air travel, beach getaways, carrying books/magazines, etc.). * Feature image bag on right is a repurposed tote by Glass Architect.
