Ever wonder what happens to the grocery bags we bring home every day? Most of us who are concerned about the environment have a drawer full of them, saved with good intentions to reuse them someday. However, billions of them end up in landfills and waterways every year. In response, San Francisco became the first city in the nation to prohibit petroleum-based plastic checkout bags in large markets and pharmacies in 2007. Granite Gear designed the Air Grocery Bag in 2005 as an ultralight convenient, reusable grocery bag. Now with the bargain shopper in mind, they made the Market Tote. Made with a 70D polyester that is very durable and less expensive. The internal stuff sack doubles as a floating wallet when the bag is in use. Comes in assorted colors. Groceries not included.
