Carebags: The Perfect Companion for Grocery Shopping

It's rare to find a product that truly works for you, but when you finally do find one, you never want to let go.  Carebags is just such a product. 

As we become more conscious of our Earth and how we want to treat it, we have changed many parts of our lives.  Parts, that many of us, never thought twice about changing before.  A big part of this movement, and one of the easiest adjustments to make, is using reusable bags.  I can remember a time, not so long ago, when check-out clerks at grocery stores would encourage you to double bag your items.  Millions of plastic bags later, we seem to have evolved an innate conciseness about it.  No more are the days of being wasteful, we are now encouraged to bring our own bags to shop.  Although this is a noble act, we are still faced with the dilemma of actually storing the items once home.  Our old plastic bags used to serve not only the purpose of transporting the product, but also storing it neatly and cleanly away.  What's an environmentally-friendly-being to do?

The answer: Carebags.  Developed by two moms in the early 90's in Vancouver B.C. this bag allows you to carry, wash and store your produce all in the same bag.  It can hold up to 10 lbs, it's machine washable, is fast drying, and resistant to mold.  Its hard to believe that there is anything this bag cannot do. Transparent, strong, stretchy, Carebags are the top shelf of reusable bags.

Thanks to an email we received from ecocentricguide.ca we were able learn about this amazing product.  Other suggested ways to use Carebags: Grow sprouts, dry herbs, a strainer, in the laundry to wash delicates.
