Go Green with Minusbags

Written by Jennifer

New Habits in the New YearHave you become more aware of the impact of your choices on our environment and our future? Are you always striving to be a bit more responsible with your choices to try to limit that impact? I have made a few changes, and one of the ones that I have been fairly consistent about doing is bringing my own bags to the grocery store.

I was so pleased to receive the peach bag from minusbags. This bag is a sturdy 100% cotton twill. The unstructured design helps it hold larger or bulkier items (unlike the squarish brown paper bag reproductions that I’ve purchased from my grocery store). Another plus from the minusbag is that they are sturdier and prettier, carrying fruit and vegetable designs instead of a store logo. One day I was almost accosted by a store clerk, becaussweetpeas.jpge in addition to the two bags from her store, I was using one bag from a different store. That won’t happen with minusbags.

I also enjoy using my bag for trips to the library. They carry my heavy books much better than a cheap plastic bag. And, as the minusbags site informs: plastic bags are bad news:

According to the EPA, more than 380 billion plastic bags are used in the U.S. annually — and an estimated 100 billion are thrown away each year. Most clog landfills, but many end up snagged on trees and fences as an ugly reminder of our disposable society. And most plastic grocery bags are not biodegradable. They actually break down into smaller and smaller toxic particles that pollute our oceans, rivers, lakes and soil. Every year, thousands of animals, particularly marine mammals, choke to death after mistaking discargrapes_steps.jpgded plastic bags for food.

Try less plastic and more pretty with minusbags. One reader will win three minusbags.  If you’d like to win, please leave a comment on this post, and check out the New Habits in the New Year guidelines at this main post.

Come back on January 9 to see if you have won. Please be sure that the email address that you provide is one that you check regularly, and also check your spam folder when the winners are announced if you see your name.

Celeste @ 12:54 am

Fabulous idea–and fabulous designs too!

Catherine @ 12:55 am

That is such a great idea! I always have TONS of grocery bags piling up that I have to bring back to the store for recycling. These bags are super cute and eco-friendly, and I’d LOVE to have some! I’ve never seen anyone at the grocery store with a bag like this. Maybe I’ll start a *green* trend in good ol’ Jersey. :)

Q&Q @ 1:38 am

I have tons of reusable bags. Being from the library community we were forever receiving them for one thing or another. I also have one from our local library, several from my favorite grocery store and even some from our warehouse store. Great idea. I place them by the door to remind me to leave them in the car after emptying.

Krista @ 1:43 am

Awesome! I’m all for saving the environment and while I do reuse some of my plastic bags, the number I get – and sometimes the double bagging – drives me crazy! Thankfully we do have recycling here, but still!

These look really cute! I love a cute reusable shopping bag!

Noreen @ 2:35 am

I could really use these bags!!

Katherine @ 2:37 am

Put my name in the hat!
:) Kat

Michelle @ 2:55 am

Stacy @ 6:50 am

Lovin It!

geekbearinggifts @ 6:55 am

Very cool, and much better looking than the ones I already have. Now, if they would just remind me to get them out of the trunk when I get to the store, they’d be perfect. Thanks for offering them!

Aisling @ 7:25 am

These bags look great! All my reusable bags are from grocery stores, with their logos, and I’d love to have some attractive ones.

Michelle @ 7:29 am

I have been using reusable shopping bags for years, even before it was trendy to do so, but after more than 10 years, they are looking shabby, to say the least. I would love to win some nice-looking ones that aren’t a collection of mis-matched bags from trade shows.

Fahim Jadaa @ 7:39 am

You can never have too many bags or shoes for that matter!

SUSAN VARNEY @ 7:43 am

add my entry please

Joanne @ 8:26 am

I love reusable bags and these are great looking. Thanks!

zukppr @ 8:26 am

I’m using 3 of the squarish ones with the store logo on them. One more would make it very unusual for me to use any more plastic ones than we use for our household food trash.

Also… Have a stockpile of the store plastic ones? I have a friend who makes them into re-usable ones. I even saw them turned into a rug at a local recycling center.

Oh, wow! I love using reusable bags and these ones seem so cute!!!

Stefanie @ 8:30 am

These look awesome! I’ve been using the store brand bags as well, but would love something a bit more flexible.

This is great for the environment – no waste of paper or plastic bags for grocery shopping – thank you

Susan Decker @ 9:30 am

I’m tryng to go “greener” to set a good example for my children and to make the world a better place for us all. These bags would be a big help. I have some I use, but mine are really worn out, and these would look and feel much better!

Wanda @ 9:32 am

These look great! My son was born on Earth Day and is big into recycling and such. He would be happy that we have these and I would love to not have so many plastic bags around.

What a great way to help the environment!

Melanie @ 9:39 am

Tania Bugnet @ 9:44 am

Amy P @ 9:46 am

I would love to win this!

Heather @ MrsMomma @ 9:52 am

Oh, those look nice! Enter me, please. :)

Kathy Scott @ 9:54 am

My son would be so proud of me if I used this bag. He is all green.

Cathryn Patrick @ 9:57 am

I keep seeing these bags all over the internet. I’m starting to think I need to get one! They look ideal for me, since I’m a college student and I always have books to carry.

Judith Rachmani @ 9:58 am

The minusbag does look prettier than the bags with store logos.

This fits perfectly with some habits I began last year…I’ll have to check out their site because I’ve already considered buying some reusable bags…pretty ones would make it even better :) .

Becca H @ 10:04 am

How cute are those? I love using reusable bags!!

Mel H @ 10:05 am

I am so in! I resolve this year to go more ‘green’ and eat better so the minusbag is a perfect combo!

Ali Gutierrez @ 10:33 am

I love the one with the grapes!

Dot @ 10:34 am

I love reusable bags! I have a few, but none seem to be sturdy enough for real grocery shopping. I would love to have some that are big enough and sturdy enough to handle the bigger, heavier items.

Melissa Markham @ 10:35 am

Great idea! I would need a bunch for our grocery shopping trips, but you must first start with one:)

Susan @ 10:35 am

Emmaline Kuebler @ 12:09 pm

I want these.

MissyMiss @ 12:12 pm

We are avid recyclers in my house-even my 4 year old knows which blue bag is for cans/plastic and which one is for paper! She yells at people when they come over and try to throw a water bottle or soda can in the trash, lol.

Having more than one bag would really help since I tend to leave the one I have in my car – and could use an extra for when I’m walking to the library, etc.

Sophia Lindsay @ 1:52 pm

We use do this when we were younger until the plastic bag phase came in. It would definitely be a great idea to go back to the older days when mom and I would go to the market with our own bags :D

emily @ 3:02 pm

This is totally up my alley. Something I’m trying to do in 2008 is use all re-usable bags when doing my errands and shopping…and to tell that friendly clerk that no, I don’t need my item in on of your little plastic bags! Wonderful giveaway!

laura cutshall @ 11:22 pm

What a wonderful idea! I’ve been looking for canvas totes of my own to keep in the car, because I often go to the grocery on small trips. Even when I tell them to put the items in one bag, I often see them bagging as little as ONE ITEM per plastic bag!! Having a tote would fix this, hopefully!

Melinda Toungette @ 11:22 pm

I am trying to go green is a lot of ways. Would love to win these bags to help in my effort.

Tari Lawson @ 7:04 am

I generally don’t make New Years resolutions, however, a few years ago I made one to recycle more. I am happy to say that I have increased my recycling more and more each year. This past year, I began recycling plastic bags and have bought a few cloth bags in an effort to stop using the plastic bags altogether. I only have 3 so far and adding these would enable me to do my grocery shopping without the use of any plastic bags.

Deborah Rosen @ 7:42 am

I wish that more people would use these. I have one already, but could really use another one. Thanks!

Lillian DeVone @ 10:11 am

Global warming should be the main issue that all the Presidential hopefuls are talking about. I can’t believe that no-one in the government is taking a serious stance on this issue. We NEED to take action NOW-for our children. These bags are one way of doing our part. Spread the word-Global warming is the one issue that affects all of us, regardless of race, sex, nationality or religion.

A personal change is one thing but I am hoping to influence a new generation as well.

heather h @ 10:47 pm

These are so cute! One winner with three bags is great–enough for a trip to the grocery store. We take our own bags to the store like a lot of people. I amassed a large mishmash of large store sacks and canvas bags left over from my teaching days. The grocery store workers couldn’t seem to figure out how to bag them–they would either be incredibly heavy or light. That’s ok, but the heavy ones were a little difficult to carry. We graduated to the store brand and things are a little better. We love them, but I’d would adore CUTE bags!

Allegra Ashley @ 7:17 am

Not only are Minusbags a great “green” product that reduces waste, but they solve other problems such as plastic bags breaking and scattering your groceries on the ground, or accidentally leaving a bag of groceries at the register because you confused it with the next person’s groceries.
I would never get my groceries mixed up with the next customer’s if I had these unique Minusbags.

And no breakage either. Plastic bags are just flimsy and don’t even do a good job of protecting your groceries.

Joyce Pawlik @ 7:34 am
