In a world where some cities charge for paper bags, or encourage you to bring your own, having a set of these compact, washable, reusable tote bags is a healthier and eco-friendly choice. Did you realize that globally, humans use 0.5 trillion plastic bags every year? These harmful bags, filled with chemicals, pose a threat to sea turtles and humans as they find their way into the oceans and groundwater. I purchased this collection of reusable tote bags 15 years ago, and they are still in great condition! I store most of them in my car’s trunk, always keeping one in my purse and travel bag for convenience.
