Green Girl World: Eco-Totes

Green Girl World Eco-Totes

An easy first step for anyone wanting to reduce their carbon footprint is to make a small investment in green grocery shopping bags.  But what if you want to take the reusable canvas bag trend further?  Green Girl World has your back – and your bag.  Eco-totes sold by this company can be used for anything from trips to the store, to the gym, and even as a chic handbag.

Take your pick from canvas, cotton, or organic tote bags.  There are plenty of fun, washable fabrics from which to choose.  Green Girl World even sells kid-sized eco-totes!  Use these for trips to ballet, soccer, even school.  Shun the nylon backpacks this fall.

As noted on its website:

“Green Girl’s fully reversible, washable eco-totes are fashionable and functional. Your Green Girl eco-tote is designed for daily use in any situation—whether you need a reusable shopping bag, gym bag, beach tote or in-flight carry-on. After a fun-filled shopping spree or other outing, simply roll the eco-tote up and store it compactly in your purse or glove compartment.”

Green Girl has a number of options for reusable canvas bags.  From travel pouches, produce bags and even reusable leather, you should find a price and design to fit your needs. Bags start around $30.  Considering the environmental savings by getting one or two of these eco-totes, I would say that its paid for in less than a month.

I just love this Ivana Recycle video… showing the benefits of green grocery shopping bags.  Hey, Ivana!  Check out Green Girl World next time:

Eco-totes to help the environment

When you shop at Green Girl, the company will also continue to help the environment with every purchase.

“Green Girl reduces our own carbon footprint by planting a tree for every canvas, lightweight and children’s eco-tote we sell on-line. To accomplish this, we have partnered with American Forests, a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, a pioneer in the science and practice of urban forestry, and a primary communicator of the benefits of trees and forests.”

Next time you need to pick up a gift – or even treat yourself – why not help the world breathe a bit easier too?  Green Girl World Eco-Totes are at the top of my list for holiday shopping (yes, I know its July).
