Eco-friendly Shopping Bags are Cool!

by Jacqueline D'Elia on April 24, 2008

Chic eco-friendly shopping bags from Envirosax and Chicobags. I enjoy using them. These reusable bags are easier to carry and hold much more than the flimsy plastic bags. They’re handy and fit in easily in your purse or glove box. With so many colors and styles to choose from, you can make your eco statement with personal style. It’s fun to answer that old question: Paper or Plastic with Neither, I’ve brought my own. You may even find other shoppers asking you where you got those bags. Just tell them Olive Barn!

Cool Facts:

Using them can save the average American 300 to 700 plastic shopping bags per year, which will save 3 to 7 gallons of crude oil.

That really adds up! A population of 100,000 people can save up to 14,000 barrels of oil per year using reusable bags.

Give them a try – you’ll be glad you did!
