No matter what type of reusable bag you have stashed in the pantry or in the trunk of your car, it is better than contributing to landfills with plastic bags. But do your bags meet your needs? It can be difficult to sort through all the options out there to find the perfect bag that…
Certes, Credobags n’est pas la première à proposer une solution de rechange aux sempiternels petits sacs plastique. Mais on aime particulièrement la marque parce que: – C’est beau: tout en coton et mousseline, avec un design rétro-moderne, épuré, pas de fioritures ni de message bêtifiant à la “j’aime mon quartier” ou “j’aime la nature”.

J’ai encore fait une dépense folle. Je me suis acheté 3 sacs réutilisables pour les fruits et légumes. $3.75 pour les petits et $4.75 pour le grand. Nous nous sommes habitués à traîner dans notre auto, des sacs réutilisables, soit en coton, ou dans d’autres matières durables pour éviter d’envoyer à la poubelle ou au…
