Better than disposable, but not fantastic

I was given a set of envirosax for a gift, and I admit, I do use them regularly. It's nice that they pack so small that I can always have one in the bottom of my bag or backpack. However, they are made from 100% polyester, so they are essentially made from the same petroleum as a disposable plastic bag. It's better that they are made to be reused often, but, let's face it, it's still oil. And when they wear out, where are they going to end up? Probably still in a landfill.

Plus, they are made in China, and the company is based in Australia, so they made quite a long trek around the world before they ended up in my pocket in Oregon.

So, if you're choosing between envirosax and disposable plastic, obviously go with envirosax. But organic, natural materials, or materials reclaimed from the waste stream are a much better choice in the long run.

It's in the Bag!

You can now shop and bag your groceries in style with an ENVIROSAX tote, designed by an Australian manufacture of cloth bags with a distribution base in California.

Choose bags from their colorful, non-fading, Graphic Series, made of lightweight, waterproof polyester: retro, amazon, flora, monochromatic or retro kitchen, OR, from their Organic Series: bamboo, linen or hemp. The Graphic Series also offers a Pouch collection of 5 bags.

ENVIROSAX is committed to supporting the education of environmental sustainability, and provides links to resources for both teachers and students, and to resources for information about: alternative energy, biotechnology, fuel cell, green house gases, marine and water conservation, and sustainable building.
