The Container<br />

Store Produce<br />

Bags<br />

Have you ever<br />

thought about the<br />

amount of disposable<br />

plastic produce<br />

bags you use at the<br />

store when buying<br />

fruits and veggies?<br />

Though small, those<br />

bags can really add<br />

up, leaving a large<br />

impact. The solution:<br />

bring your own bags.<br />

In this set of five, the<br />

reusable drawstring<br />

bags have color-coded<br />

tags. The mesh<br />

pattern allows produce<br />

to be scanned<br />

while checking out<br />

of the grocery store<br />

without removing it<br />

from the bag. Once<br />

home, simply leave<br />

the produce inside<br />

the bag for rinsing.<br />

The bags, made from<br />

durable polyester,<br />

are machine washable.<br />

Sprouts Arizona<br />

Canvas Reusable<br />

Bag<br />

Next time the cashier<br />

asks if you’d like<br />

paper or plastic, simply<br />

pull out your own<br />

reusable bag instead.<br />

Bringing your own<br />

bag, whether you’re<br />

at the grocery store,<br />

farmers market or<br />

at the mall, helps to<br />

avoid the unneeded<br />

use of plastic or<br />

paper bags, and<br />

every bag counts.<br />

This particular bag<br />

allows you to sport<br />

The Grand Canyon<br />

State. Sprouts stores<br />

sell seasonal and limited-designed<br />

reusable<br />

bags (many with<br />

catchy sayings) that<br />

start at $0.99. And,<br />

shoppers receive<br />

5 cents off their<br />

total grocery bill for<br />

each shopping bag<br />

reused in a single<br />

transaction. $4.99<br />

Dot and Army<br />

Linen & Cotton<br />

Bowl Covers<br />

Plastic wrap is a common<br />

item to find in<br />

any kitchen, used to<br />

cover bowls. These<br />

reusable cloth covers<br />

are a prettier, longerlasting<br />

and ecofriendly<br />

alternative.<br />

The soft fabric covers<br />

have an elastic band<br />

that snugly fits over<br />

bowls to protect your<br />

leftovers. The set of<br />

six includes a variety<br />

of sizes ranging from<br />

covers for a 6.5-inch<br />

bowl to 14-inch bowl<br />

so that you have<br />

an option for every<br />

vessel. The covers,<br />

which are machine<br />

washable, are made<br />

of either linen or cotton<br />

and come in a<br />

variety of colors. $64<br />

DE Plastic-Free<br />

Glass Food<br />

Containers<br />

While reusable plastic<br />

food containers<br />

are the norm, go for<br />

something different<br />

(and eco-friendly!)<br />

with this glass set<br />

of four. In addition to<br />

their visually pleasing<br />

design, the containers<br />

are multifunctional<br />

because you can<br />

cook food inside the<br />

glass container portion<br />

in both the oven<br />

and microwave and<br />

then simply leave the<br />

food in and pop the<br />

top on to store the<br />

leftovers. The silicon<br />

seal inside the biodegradable<br />

bamboo lid<br />

keeps the food fresh<br />

and stops leaks.<br />

The containers are<br />

plastic-, BPA-, and<br />

phthalate-free, along<br />

with non-toxic, FDAapproved<br />

and freezersafe.<br />

The glass portion<br />

of the container<br />

is also dishwashersafe,<br />

while the lid is<br />

recommended to be<br />

hand washed. $39.95<br />

Bee’s Wrap<br />

Assorted 3 Pack<br />

Made of beeswax,<br />

cotton, organic jojoba<br />

oil and tree resin, this<br />

natural alternative to<br />

plastic wrap can be<br />

used to store bread,<br />

cheese, veggies or<br />

even cover a bowl.<br />

The combination of<br />

ingredients creates<br />

a malleable food<br />

wrap with natural<br />

antibacterial properties<br />

that can be used<br />

again and again. To<br />

use, simply utilize<br />

the warmth of your<br />

hands to soften the<br />

wrap and create a<br />

seal. When it cools,<br />

the wrap will hold its<br />

shape. The wraps are<br />

reusable, lasting up<br />

to a year with proper<br />

care. Just wash<br />

them in cool water<br />

with a mild dish soap<br />

and then let air dry.<br />

This assorted set<br />

includes three sizes<br />

– small, medium and<br />

large. $18 at Bee’s<br />

Wrap, www.beeswrap.com.<br />
