Reusable AND Attractive Gift Bags

It is hard to believe the amount of trash...namely shopping bags, boxes, wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, etc...our family creates around the holidays.  Multiply that times the number of households in America and it becomes an overwhelming amount of trash.

I found these online by a company called Living Ethos.  They have some gorgeous designs and you can select your design especially for your occassion.  The bags come in 4 different sizes, are made of 100% cotton, and the ribbon is made of recycled PET.  Their fabrics are printed using fiber reactive dyes, one of the most environmentally benign type of dyes on the market.

These are the perfect bags for the holidays.  When your family has unwrapped all the presents, you can launder (if needed) and store for the next use.  Your gift wrap will definitely be one that keeps on giving!

How eco-friendly is that!
