Being eco-friendly is important to me, and I love reusable shopping bags such as Urban Market Bags. I have used plenty of other reusable bags in the past, but not all of them were attractive, unfortunately. Of course that is not really the purpose of bags, but it is still fun to tote around pretty, colorful bags.

The story of Urban Market Bags is interesting:
After years of grocery shopping, driving kids to extracurricular activities, managing household errands, and all other routine happenings, Cindy Goldberg and Kerri Stenson were well aware of how many bags are needed to get through each day. Being environmentally conscious, and early adopters of reusable bags, but as time went on, those reusable bags became stained, soiled, flimsy, took up too much storage space and were not always conveniently available.
One night, their ah-ha! moment happened over a glass of wine in Hawaii, the first state to eliminate plastic bags. Sitting by the ocean and appreciating Hawaii’s efforts to keep it pristine, Cindy and Kerri instantly knew that there is a better way to be environmentally responsible (and look cute while doing it!). So they dug up the design for the original Olive Smart bags (created with mutual friend Stephanie Ashworth), made a few tweaks, and were on their way.
Urban Market Bags was born —the only true system that eliminates the hassle of dealing with stains, bulkiness and soiling, and adds efficiency, style and practicality to your life. One drawstring pack, many market bags that are completely washable. It just makes sense.

These would be great for using at the supermarket or when I go to the local farmer’s market! I always prefer to bring a bag from home rather than use plastic.

I guess since California passed that stupid law that we must pay for our bags now or bring our own, I am going to have to get some. With having reusable bags, it means that I will be using more electricity. Why? Well, in order to keep those bags clean and free of germs, they will have to be washed after each shopping trip that they have been used.
