There are little things we can all do to be kinder to the planet [1], and so many small tweaks can make a world of difference [2]. One of the easiest and most effective changes to make is a reliance on reusable shopping bags. The amount of paper and plastic used to make those disposable ones we grab at the supermarket is astounding, and that's why we rely so heavily on reusable bags. You can keep them in your car or by your front door, so you always have access to them when you need them.
These eight options work for pretty much any lifestyle. They're easy to travel with and sturdy enough to hold even your heaviest groceries. Paper bags should be left in the last decade where they belong, if you ask us. Just keep reading to shop our picks; they'll be staples in your routine for years to come.
