I recently wrote about taking baby steps to make positive changes both in my own life and the world around me.
One of the things I’ve really been wanting to do is start actively carrying reusuable shopping bags, and cut down on my plastic bag consumption. I have a cloth shopping bag in the trunk of my car, but I’m always forgetting to bring it into the store with me. It’s too bulky to easily fit into my purse, and it’s just one extra thing to carry around.
Mark from Envirosax recently contacted me to let me know about his company, and I think he may have the perfect solution to my problem.
Super lightweight and portable, the Envirosax are a much better alternative to reusable shopping bags than my bulky cloth bag. Each bag holds the equivalent of two supermarket bags, and yet when not in use, the individual bags roll up to only about 4″ x 2″.
I really like the graphic series of bags. You can buy the bags individually or get all 5 in each series, which come in a storage pouch to keep them in when you’re not using them.
This company is pretty amazing, really. Based in the Australian rainforest, Mark and the rest of the Envirosax team practice what they preach. Their facilities feature solar hot water and veggie gardens, and as a chemistry teacher by trade, Mark has been working on promoting the teaching of sustainability in school curriculums.
You can find out more about the bags, or about Mark’s sustainable education endeavors at the website: Envirosax.

Wonderful! I’ve been wanting some myself, but find that comparable bags can run so much more. These ones are stylish, and affordable (which is something Miss Mischief loves quite a lot).
