As I browsed through the produce aisle at my local super market I noticed that the plastic bags I was supposed to be putting my veggies in were supposedly made out of biodegradable plastic. From this stemmed my article on EcoPlastics, which basically says that EcoPlastics are great, just as long as they are placed in the compost bin to be composted, because if they are just placed in the regular trash bin, it will still clog up the landfill and take a while to decompose. So rather than using the 'biodegradable' plastic bags, I had been choosing to just stick them in my canvas bag and go about my way. Then I came across baggreen.com. This company has invented a nice re-usable canvas produce bag to collect your fruits and veggies in rather than regular plastic or eco plastic bags. Plastic bags are destroying our waterways, as they are one of the most common pollutants along our coastlines, yuck.
You can pick up some of these fabulous bags on www.baggreen.com. I was very impressed when I received mine they had eco packed it in a recycled newspaper sheet folded into a large envelope, and they donate a portion of their sales to organizations that work to preserve our environment!
