If we care about the environment at all, we know it’s time to Ban the Bag. Single use plastics are devastating to the natural environment–damaging the welfare of wildlife and polluting our planet immensely and disgustingly. And, hopefully, the ban on single use plastics will happen soon. But for those of us who thrive on being proactive, the best way to avoid plastic bags while they’re still available is to simply refuse to use. And instead, invest in an inexpensive eco-friendly bag, such as Grand Trunk’s Eco Travel bag.
What’s awesome about being proactive is that you often get even more beneficial results than you could have hoped for. Example–You buy an Eco Travel bag thinking you’ll just use it in place of plastic bags at the grocery store. Then you realize you can use it as a bag for your workout clothes, or your books or your lunch… or anything else you would ever need to use a bag for. Grand Trunk’s bag can pack 50 pounds without any trouble, and weighs just one ounce itself. That said, it’s so damn light you can fold it down, stuff it in its stuff sack, and clip it to your keychain so it’s always there, ready to be stuffed with whatever you throw its way. And the best part? This bag is only a $12 dollar investment, and it’s built to last… just not as long as plastic bags are.
