I’m not sure how much one bag fits. How many do you have? We usually go shopping once a month to buy everything we need then a few times to buy produce, water, and snacks.

Are shopping totes really better for the environment than brown paper or plastic bags?

With all the craze of celebrities using shopping totes and retail clothing stores that supply them, are shopping totes better for the environment? I’ve looked at these “This is not a plastic bag” totes and I wonder “Aren’t these too made of non-environment friendly materials? If say, one of these shopping totes lasts me a year, how much damage does making this bag do to the environment, versus the damage a year’s worth of plastic bags from the grocery store do to the environment?
