    BAGGU Reusable Shopping Tote - 3-Pack

Product Description:

No longer do you have to environmentally conscious and carry around dull, frumpy bags from your local grocer. Now you can roam around the market in the very stylish, reusable Baggu tote bags. This tote bags are constructed of strong, durable rip-stop nylon. They are also cared for easily: Just pop it in the wash and dry it on the line. Every bag in this six-piece set can hold the contents of 2-3 plastic bags, and comes with a 5" by 5" storage pouch.

Overall Green Rating 4.5/5.0
  The Baggu Reusable Shopping Tote rates high on environmental friendliness & is very practicable. Apart from being made from recycled material and at a great price, it is also very stylish. We rate it as a near 5.0.
Environmental  Friendly 4.5/5.0
  Plastic bags don’t decompose, instead they photo-degrade. That means that they break up into small pieces that contaminate soil for years. Plastic bags take an average of 1000 years to decompose.
Compare that with a reusable tote bag that can carry the contents of 2-3 bags on each use and can be used multiple times. Each tote saves around 1000 bags. The math is self evident. Add to that the fact that the tote is made in part of reduced scrap fabric and the impact over the current standard is enormous and self evident.
It does not score a perfect 5 as the bags are made in China even though they are light and have a small carbon footprint due to transport. The Baggu shopping totes can be recycled by sending them back to the manufacturer for a refund.
Claim Authenticity 5.0/5.0
  Baggu claims to be made of scrap fabric & have a recycling program. It steers clear of mentioning that the bags are made of recycled materials. Our research shows these claims to be authentic.
Practicality 5.0/5.0
  Baggu Reusable Shopping Tote are very practical because:
  • One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags

  • Baggu bag handles are of a convenient length to carry or sling.

  • Made from super strong rip-stop nylon (holds 25 lbs) so they are light (2 oz) and compactible.

  • Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom

  • Can be folded to sit into a pocket

  • Very stylish

Price 4.5/5.0
  The Baggu Reusable Shopping Tote were one of the cheapest stylish tote bags that we could find at the time of writing.

Globe 4860201 13-Watt Ultra-Mini Compact Fluorescent Bulb

The Globe 4860201 13-Watt Ultra-Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb is a very popular CFL. In effect, the 13 watt CFL is close to a 60W incandescent bulb (our normal old-fashioned light bulb). It is Energy Star certified and has a life of around 8000-10,000 hours. The compact size of this CFL means that it will probably screw into most of the light sockets that you have in your house. This CFL is a pretty good alternative to normal incandescent bulbs.
