E String Re-useable Shopping Bags

September 22, 2007

Currently, and climbing at a rate not unlike the speed of sound the number of plastic shopping bags in use just this year worldwide is:

363,145,968,124

Maybe the saying should go, ‘if I had a dollar for every plastic shopping bag…’ In Australia alone we consume on average 326 plastic bags per person per year.

I’m not trying to alarm anyone here, I’m just going to point out that there are some great alternatives to plastic bags and E String Bags are just one of them. I’m mentioning E String Bags in particular as they are cheap, effective, colourful, roll up in a little ball when you’re not using them and they hold 14kg of shopping, all while looking really cool. They’re just a brilliant product all round and are available now on our secure shopping site.

If you would like to know the reality of what plastic shopping bags are doing to our planet then here is an eye-opening article from the United Nations Environment Program titled The World’s Largest Landfill is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean
