Envirosax Reusable Totes: Review

hypothesis Using eco-friendly totes to replace plastic bags will not only help the environment, but look incredibly stylish, too!

One Botanica reuseable tote from the Graphics Collection at Envirosax and a trip to the drug store.   About Envirosax:

envirosaxlogo

The philosophy of Envirosax® is to help create a better future for our planet by spreading the environmental message through colour and script using the Envirosax® eco-friendly reusable bag as the vehicle.

Envirosax is proud to help protect the environment for tomorrow’s generation by providing an eco-friendly alternative to disposable shopping bags that have caused so much damage to the environment worldwide. Envirosax bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof and each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags thanks to reinforced seams.

I am all for saving the Earth. I like to live here.  I do my part my recycling paper, plastic and batteries however, I have honestly never thought to try reusable totes when shopping.  When the opportunity to try out Envirosax arrived, I decided to try it out and see if I could be converted.  At first glance, the totes are incredibly cute!  I had a hard time picking just one!  Fortunately, you can buy 5 color coordinating totes at a time as a set or “pouch.”  When the Envirosax arrived, I couldn’t believe how small the tote was when folded!  I could definitely fit this in my purse!  I took the tote to a local drug store to pick up a few items and felt proud when I told the cashier that I didn’t need a plastic bag.  I think I will definitely use the Envirosax for quick grocery runs in the future!
