I see why Eden released Edenfantasys Tote Bags on Earth Week, to get people to help reduce the waste this country makes.

I'm not a tree hugger. Yes I do live near San Francisco but I am not some eco-warrior. I do recycle most of the time and I am totally into the whole repurposing items that are usually just thrown away. But I still use a car and love to talk long showers. I also do more than a few non-eco things. But that's how I am. I do my part.

But living in this area, we are now starting to see laws coming up on the books about banning plastic bags and plastic bag taxes. I totally understand why those are popping up around here. Totally cuts down on the mess that those things make and the cost to recycle them. (Personally, I make things out of the bags or use them for trash can liners.) So, when my husband and I got married, we started using the reusable shopping bags. We picked up a few of them and keep them in the trunk of the car so that when we are out we just have to grab one or two. And when we bring in the shopping, the bags stay by the door so they go to the car the next time we go out. It's worked like this for over seven years now. But the bags do die.

About the time that our dear old Tap Plastic died rather epically I got my paws on Edenfantasys Tote Bags. I now have five of them which was enough to replace my old ones.

Edenfantasys Tote Bags made out of some kind of vinyl on the outside and a fabric lining on the inside. They are fifteen and a half inches wide, fifteen tall, and about four and a half inches deep. It has graphics on it promoting Edenfantasys with the site, titter and facebook. It comes with handles that will allow anyone to sling a full bag over the shoulder.

I was surprised that I could do a whole grocery run and only fill three bags, so they hold a lot. They are strong enough to support anything you put in them. I have had milk, sugar and a bottle of orange juice in one and not had any problems with seams popping. They collapse down nicely and can be stored anywhere. Like I said earlier, I just keep mine in the trunk of the car. They take a lot of abuse in my trunk, my husband has all his car stuff in there and it bangs and rolls on to the Edenfantasys Tote Bags and they don't have any trouble with that crap.

I know that I will be grabbing more Edenfantasys Tote Bags when I can. These things totally rock.

I now have five Edenfantasys Tote Bags that I keep in the trunk of the car for when I am out shopping. These are so strong and they can be cleaned right up with a bit of soap and water. I totally love them and I got rid of my old shopping bags and replaced them with the Eden ones.
