Lyndsey Green’s organic cotton grocery totes are not just made from organic Fair Trade cotton to last for years, but are also beautifully illustrated with endangered species. Ideal for the market or grocery shop, they are printed in the UK and made from quality cotton with long handles for ease of use. Choose from Sumatran tiger, Scottish wildcat or Giraffe.
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?
