ReusableBags.com Review and Giveaway


ReusableBags.com has been fighting the massive over-consumption of plastic shopping bags since 2002 and has made a significant impact. "Is the plastic bag the worst thing adversely affecting our environment? Probably not. However it is very important because of its ubiquitous nature. Nearly all of us use them -- all the time. Pervasive and out of control, it is a powerful symbol of consumerism gone wild. The mindless over-consumption of plastic bags is just plain dumb and we are helping make it a thing of the past." They provide consumers with a wide range of "reusables," including safe, reusable bottles and eco-friendly lunch bags. As of 2009, they have enabled 180,000+ customers to reduce their consumption of use-and-toss items by more than 700 million units.
They sell a variety of things such as:


I got to review an ACME Bags™ - Large Insulated Lunch Bag in Camo. The material feels strong, and it looks well made. My son absolutely loves it! He thinks the camo print is really cool. Its durable shell is made from tough, high-quality nylon fabric that is lead-free. 100% recycled insulation is made in the USA, comes from plastic bottles and containers, and contains no phthalates. They estimate that the insulation used in each lunch bag saves approximately 1-2 plastic bottles from landfills. The non-toxic freezer pack is reusable and also made in the USA. 100% guaranteed against defects in materials or construction for life. If for any reason the bag fails due to normal wear and tear, they will fix or replace it for you free of charge.

A Button

Hooray! I finally have a button. Susan, from Blog Designs by Susan, made it for me. Her prices are good, and she was great to work with. Now I feel like I am a "real" blogger!

Wonderwash



I would love to win the Wonderwash and Mini Countertop Spin Dryer. It would be good to save on energy. I really want them for if the power goes out. It would be great for any laundry, but it would be great for delicate hand wash items like sweaters. Click on Laundry Alternatives to check it out.
