Folding Grocery Bags: Bulletin Bag Staff Review

04d410be928ad0c044ae2ed380ab19a4For these reviews, we pick two of our Bulletin Bag reusable bags, have our staff members put them through the wringer, and comment on the outcomes here (and encourage our clients to do the same!). This week, we’ve chosen two inexpensive, nylon folding grocery bags: Slim Zip Grocery Bag and Clip and Go Shopper.

We love nylon fold up grocery bags because they are strong, durable, and easy to store. Often times, folding bags can be over a client’s budget, but these two bags are surprisingly affordable. Nylon folding bags should be hand washed in warm soapy water and hung to dry—both inside out and right side out–to ensure all the moisture is gone on the inside.

This week, the Wood River High School Environmental Club lost their bid to ban disposable plastic grocery bags in Hailey, Idaho.
hailey_bag_banThe club spent nine months working on the student-led ballot initiative, which also specified that paper bags had to be made of at least 40% post-consumer material and exempted plastic bags for packaging bulk items such as nuts and grains and for wrapping meat, fish, plants, baked goods and medicines.

Reusable Grocery Bags Only Option in Ski Towns

bagsatlandfillThe Carbondale, Colorado, Board of Trustees voted 5-1 in favor of a plastic grocery bag ban, rather than adopting a usage fee. The ban takes effect in May 2012 and closely mirrors one passed by neighboring Aspen’s City Council.

For now, the new ordinance applies only to bags provided at grocery stores larger than 3,500 square feet. It prohibits the distribution of plastic shopping bags to customers and imposes a 20-cent fee for each paper bag shoppers opt to use. Currently, there is only one grocery store that exceeds 3,500 square feet in Carbondale.

Plastic Bags & Big Tobacco: Switch to Reusable Bags Now!

plastic_bag_warsThe August 4 issue of Rolling Stone (of all places!) includes an amazing article by Kitt Doucette about the lack of importance the US places on curbing—nevermind eliminating—single use disposable bags. Did you read it? Are you angry? You should be!

Guinness World Records has named plastic shopping bags as “the most ubiquitous consumer item in the world.” As we’ve been saying for a long time, they are also a leading source of pollution.

But did you know that while the rest of the developed world is fighting to curb or eliminate plastic bag usage, the US plastics industry is doing whatever it takes to defeat anti-bag measures nationwide? Among their tactics: political donations, intensive lobbying, misleading PR campaigns, and lawsuits.
