I really should get some of these. Just this morning I left my large green bags in the car and had to use plastic bags. I do think the envirosax are a great idea.

I have a few reusable bags of the daggy green variety in different colours. I usually keep one in the storage section of my stroller. I also have a couple of calico ones as well and I will now add one to the stroller because it can be washed if I use it for meat, milk and other leaking/thawing products and then I can lessen the use of plastic bags which I do as often as possible. I recently saw something about plastic waste and how it is piling up in the ocean, think of the mass of debris swept by the 2004 tsunami, plastic waste build up is a concern for us all. Cheers.

I’ve got a similar type of folded up bag tucked away in my handbag, and I usually grab a back-pack because it’s a case of “you never know what you might come across in your travels” with me lol.

Well, I’m in Adelaide too. I frequently leave mine in the car, which is annoying! I have had a few instances where I have wanted plastic – I hate getting meat in my reusables in case of leakage, but I have decided to just have a couple of meat ones and wash them as needed. I tend to have a baby bag or stroller with me so I find I can usually get away without having to use plastic from other shops. I have a few friends who use the MIMCO fold up ones. They are beautiful.
