  1. fashionable  paper bags


  2. The most environmental friendliest bag I could think of is this hemp bag that is 100% organic and made under fair labor laws in Romania.

  3. paper bags.......................................

  4. dueche bag

  5. cloth, cotton types

  6. The most eco friendly bag you can use, is any type of over-sized bag that's been purchased from a second hand or thrift store :)

    Thrifts are deluged with cast off promotional canvas bags and freebee totes from cosmetic counters.  These bags are already in the system and are headed to a landfill if no one buys 'em. Most of the bags range around 50¢ each and will last for many, many years.

  7. Any bag that reduces the use of disposable bags is a step in the right direction. If your bag is made out of environmentally friendly (hemp, organic cotton) materials that's another step. If it is made locally and does not need to be shipped halfway around the world, that's another step. If you made it yourself, by hand (no electric sewing machine) that would be the final step in eco friendly bagginess.

    So for the most eco friendly bag, I'd take a pair of old jeans that have gotten to small or stained, cut them down into fabric, and then sew them together with some heavy string (hemp twine?) into a carry-able tote bag.

    But really, anything you do is at least a step in the right direction.

  8. The ones I am using are made from recycled plastic grocery bags and they seem to be standing up quite well. Plus I think I can recycle them at the store if they break, and they were only $1 a piece and I get $.05 every time I use them so every time past 20 is pure profit for me.
