Be Green with the Air Grocery Bag.

For the past few months the newest green movement has been to stop buying the individual water bottles that are sold by the millions over the counter and ending up in trash cans everywhere. The solution is to reuse higher quality bottles like Nalgene or to just drink out of the tap (Which most water is anyway).
This is old news. But people still don’t listen so it is worth repeating. Go by a Nalgene for Pete’s sake. Buy two or three and keep rotating them in the dishwasher so you never have an excuse. I’ll even think of a fun logo for this site and make my own if it helps…. hmmmmm not a bad idea. But anyway, the point is about the Air Grocery Bag.
The New News (redundant) that I wanted to focus on is about a great environmentally friendly solution to grocery bags. If you thought that water bottles were an issue just think of how many plastic grocery bags walk out of Whole Foods and every other grocery store every day. The answer is FAR TOO MANY.
This past weekend I bought a solution for me. A company called Granite Gear is selling a product called an Air Grocery Bag. Awesome and compact this is a wonderful solution that you can use over, and over, and over, and over. And it fits in my scooter or glove box with almost no space taken up. Cool.
So go buy one. Now. Stop using throw away bags.
Actually, every little bit helps so I just like to share with everyone all the ideas out there. Do what you can, maybe even a bit more. You don’t have to be perfect (I certainly am not) but every little bit does make a difference.


Or … ride your bike from Glass House to King Soopers on Speer (12 minutes via the Cherry Creek bike trail) and put your groceries in a backpack. You won’t buy bottled water because it takes up too much backpack space and it’s too heavy. If you need more than one backpack full of groceries, make two 12-minute trips.
Question: it’s unclear from the websites – is the “stuff sack” permanently attached to the grocery sack? I’m hoping so… otherwise, I’d lose it instantly.
