I recently did some research on the plastic grocery bags and came across some very disheartening stuff.
To make 100 billion bags it takes 12 million barrels of oil.
An average trip to the grocery store is about one mile and to make 14 of those bags uses about the same amount of oil it takes to fuel an average car to drive one mile.
It takes 1000 years for plastic to disentigrate.
It consumes more resources to recycle the bags than to just make new ones and less than 3% of all bags are actually recycled.
And lets not forget the Great Pacific Garbage patch.
Another thing and then I will step off of my soapbox, every single reusable bag I have seen at a store for $1 has been made in a foreign country.
This listing is for a Super fun Scooby Doo Reusable tote bag/grocery bag. Very Sturdy and fully lined. This measures 21"x 16" Carry this with you all day to collect your belongings or take to the market. This is sure to be a great conversation starter. Awesome holiday idea. Use one of our reusable tote bags to stow gifts for someone instead of wrapping the gifts or using paper gift bags that will just get tossed after the holiday.
We actually tested these bags. Since the handles are incorporated into the pattern they are super sturdy. We did test them with 35 lbs and they were fine. They hold up super well and pair wonderfully with our reusable produce bags.
