However, most of those re-useable bags at the grocery check-out ARE MADE OF PLASTIC!! So be sure to check that the bags or tote you use are made of a sustainable material like cotton or hemp. Buyer beware. Read labels to assure sustainablitly. The last thing we want to do is keep supporting the plastics industry while thinking we are being "Green".

We also have insulated ones, so if you need to go someplace else, you can put your milk and other refrigerated items in one for a little bit. Well worth the money AND they are really sturdy. The hardest part is remembering to keep them in your car or grab them before you go to the store. I have a lot of them (like 10) so that I always have a few in my car in case I forget. Lisa,
