Make a Statement with Chic Market Totes
January 29th, 2008
Last year San Francisco became the first US city to outlaw plastic grocery bags at supermarkets. And this month, China followed suit. According to CNN, the Chinese government has banned free plastic bags from shops and supermarkets and ordered consumers to pay for the bags they use.
It’s a little frightening when China jumps ahead of us in environmental policy, isn’t it? Why not be a little ahead of your time and check out these chic alternatives to those ugly plastic bags?
Pretend you’ve just come from a sunny country farmer’s market and check out this fabulous tote from Sur la Table sold for $34.95.
Or perhaps you’re more of a city girl? These bags from Baggu are so very urban — perfect whether you’re headed to the Union Square Farmer’s Market or the San Francisco Ferry Building. Just $22 for a pack of three!
Finally, here’s a grocery bag you can feel truly good about. Offered exclusively at Amazon.com, your purchase of the UN World Food Programme’s FEED Bag will help the UN feed and educate a child for one full school year.
It’s obviously a bit pricier at $59.95, but isn’t that the best fashion statement of all?
