Disposable is bad. Avoid it at all cost. The first step in leading a more eco friendly lifestyle is to examine your use of disposable goods and eliminating as much disposable product from your day-to-day life as possible, replacing what you can with reusable options. We wrote a post in January introducing a company called Envirosax that makes fabulous reusable shopping bags in adorable prints, made from sustainable fabrics like organic hemp and bamboo. Waste from one-time use plastic shopping bags kills 100,000 animals every year. If you had the power to stop that just by switching to a reusable shopping bag, wouldn't you? Especially ones as cute as Envirosax?

Our Envirosax bags (at $10 a pop) sold out faster than we expected, which is very encouraging. We just received a replenishment, better get your favorite prints now.
