We all want to do our part to help the Earth during the climate crisis, and one way to be impactful is to bring your own reusable bag to the grocery store. If you feel like you have an excess of plastic bags under your sink or paper bags lining the hallway, try a reusable bag. Below, we have listed a few of the best grocery bags on the market that you can take with you to the store. Plus, many can also be used for day trips and excursions.
1. Reusable Cotton Mesh Produce Bags
If you’re looking to sever ties completely with plastic, try a reusable cotton bag to take to the grocery store. Firm but roomy, these bags will surely have enough space for all your items that you need to carry home. Be sure to head straight back though as cotton doesn’t protect your perishable items.
2. Canvas Grocery Bags
