Doing a review for an Envirosax designer reusable bag was so simple last fall. Well, writing it was. Picking out a bag from the endless array of possibilities was not. The graphic series is amazing and has these options and so many more!

The Kids Series is not only adorable and completely practical, they are a great way to introduce environmentally friendly choices to children. How perfect would the Marshmallow (bunny) bag be to hold Easter eggs or an Easter gift that keeps on giving? You don’t have to spend $5 on a gift bag for any occasion when an Envirosax bag can be used again and again and again!

Buy it: Envirosax reusable shopping bags generally cost $8.50 per bag but can be purchased in sets of five including a storage pouch for $37.95 from Envirosax. You can also find them on Amazon!

You may remember last fall I reviewed the GreenSmart laptop sleeve and now I get to share with you their newest addition to their line of Neogreene products.  Available in three designs and four color combinations, GreenSmart now has eco friendly lunch bags named after endangered species and made from environmentally friendly Neogreene material.

Neogreene is a water-based material which allows for a much cleaner chemistry than neoprene. As a result, the production of the material uses 25% less petroleum, 25% less energy and completely eliminates the need to use toxin laden solvent adhesives to bind the fabrics to the Neogreene. Workers and the environment see numerous benefits in waste, air quality, and exposure to potential carcinogens.

I received the Sifaka in the color blue ice. I chose this one because I loved the idea of separate zippered pockets and they did not disappoint. It has been fabulous using this for trips where I would like to keep one side cold and the other side room temperature.  I just recently used it while working an all day exhibit and just with a small ice pack it kept my drinks nice and cold all day! It is very easy to carry and the Neogreene material is naturally soft. My favorite feature is simply the size and shape. It can hold a lot without being bulky!

The Javan (left) is has a very modern look and is definitely the most compact option.While the Margay (right) is for all you traditionalists who prefer the classic style lunchboxes. No matter what your preference, one of these lunch bags is sure to fit your style!

Buy it: These lunchboxes range from $25-$30 and can be purchased directly from GreenSmart or from Amazon.

Disclosure: I received samples for the purpose of the original review for Envirosax and for this review for GreenSmart. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

Sage Green started in 2006 from the desire of world wide traveler,  Teri Thomas to bring the environmentally conscious  habits of the world to the United States. While eco friendly totes were no stranger to other parts of the world, they were little known here in the U.S.  Her goal has always been to help educate people on the wonderful benefits of eco friendly living with reducing, recycling and reusing.

This company specializes in eco-friendly resuable totes for the wholesale market offering companies inexpensive eco-friendly advertising with customized canvas totes, non woven polypropylene shopping bags, totes made from recycled water bottles ( PET)  and earth friendly jute totes.

I had the pleasure of seeing the great quality of Sage Green bags first hand with the two totes below. I love using reusable totes at the grocery story and for everyday and am still amazed that Americans didn’t have these bags so easily available a few years ago. Now I can’t imagine my life without them!

I really like the elegant look of  the designer chocolate brown non woven polypropylene shopping bag shown on the right. I am happy to  finally see a design on this type of tote. However, the canvas bag won me hands down. Am I the only one who hasn’t see a canvas tote with a square bottom? I love the size of this bag and just how much I can fit in it! So many items stack better, especially boxed goods in a bag with a square bottom and I like that I’m not limited to the non woven polypropylene bags to have this function.

You can purchase your own chocolate brown polypropylene shopping tote for $9.79 in a package of five or any of the bags shown at wholesale for your business or group!
