These organic shopping totes from Vegan Outfitters are not only good replacements to disposable plastic bags, but carry positive vegan messages, to proudly display your beliefs when shopping in store. Just choose a couple of your favourites, and you’re all set for the farmers’ market, indie health store, farm shop or supermarket.
Store all bags away from children and pets. If you do launder bags made with synthetic fibres (like recycled plastic), use a microplastics catcher.
There are many alternatives to plastic grocery bags on the market today, but what’s even better is to create a plastic-bag-free town or city. Rather than waiting for government to act, just get your community together and have a voluntary ban instead.
Single-use plastic bags are not yet banned in England, though they are in many countries (including Bangladesh to prevent floods). They often get snagged in trees or dumped in rivers, where they choke wildlife or end up in the sea. So why not invest in a few good bags, and keep them in your bag or glovebox.
Also buy a vegan message ceramic mug
Why not also double up and treat yourself to a ceramic vegan mug? Did you know that ‘bone china’ mugs really are made from abattoir leftover bones? You don’t want that when you’re enjoying your morning cuppa. This unique design is never found in stores, and it’s dishwasher-safe.
