A Totally Terrific Tote!

Always environmentally conscience, Aveda has provided a better solution to the paper versus plastic bag dilemma – choose neither, choose to re-use!

Their new Aveda Affinity black tote-bag has been created to encourage people to use a re-usable bag rather than plastic or paper shopping bags.

And if you need further encouragement just get your head around these numbers. Five hundred billion to one trillion (!) plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year and billions end up as litter. According to the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic. There are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter floating in every square mile of ocean, according to the United Nations Environment Program.

With the new Affinity Tote-bag, larger and more durable than its predecessor, made from a lightweight material consisting of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled PET, you’ll help reduce the number of disposable bags damaging the environment. And they’re only $9.95.
