Customer Review: Environmentally Correct, comparison to Chico Bags (R)
Rating: 5 Stars
OK, this review comes from Seattle, the city which just voted to tax those annoying and ubiquitous plastic shopping bags that are an eyesore and an environmental hazard. Last year, I bought 5 Chico Bags (another brand name) so that I would have a small bag or two always with me or in the car. With me, that means the two in my day pack (I either ride my scooter or take the bus to and from work) or in the car (we have a little xB for when we have to drive somewhere). The Chico Bags were the best idea for re-usable bags until I saw these Envirosax. Nothing wrong with the Chico product at all, but wow:
The Envirosax have take functionality and space to a whole new level. The Chico bags have a little pouch on them and can be stuffed into this little pouch and a small caribiner is attached so you can hang the bag on your daypack or really anything else when it isn't being used. Going through the checkout with the Chico bags in their little ball formation is not a good idea, it takes a while to get them undone and open. By that time, the bagger has usually gotten the plastic bags out and the groceries rolling in. However, the Envirosax has a built in snap arrangement like on your umbrella, which you secure after rolling up this bag. Undo the snap, flick the bag and it's open and ready instantly. Impressive. Then the capacity of this Envirosax bag, is (to my best quick visual guess) at least half again as large as the Chico. Of course the extra capacity will also mean extra weight, however the Envirosax has a bit wider handle set, and it feels more substantial compared to the Chico.
As far as visual aesthetics, the color and print choices of the Envirosax is head and shoulders above the solid color availability of the Chico brand. Additionally, there are organic hemp and linen choices available at the Envirosax website. Hint: browse there, but shop at Amazon for a price difference of only a nickel but you get your better shipping choices here.
So, I'll use my Chico bags but they are happily supplemented (and eventually supplanted) by these refreshing and lively choices from Envirosax.
The sets of five available from Envirosax will be appearing at a lot of family birthdays this year!
Description of Envirosax Flora Pouch
Embrace a new way of thinking with this set of five reusable polyester shopping bags. These durable, lightweight, and waterproof bags display fun floral prints and come rolled up in an easy tote. The snap-close storage tote is small enough to stash in a glove compartment or a medium-to-large handbag, so it's always handy. Forego those wasteful plastic and paper sacks: Every time you shop, you'll be cutting back on clutter, and doing so with eye-catching style.
| Dubbed the best value reusable bag on the market by the Wall Street Journal, and seen carried by the likes of Cameron Diaz and Kyra Sedgwick, Envirosax have revolutionized shopping bags with the perfect combination of eco-friendliness, style, and practicality. Envirosax, the original reusable designer shopping bags, are a funky and practical way to do your part to help the environment by reducing the ecological impact of single-use plastic bag waste whilst looking stylish at the same time. A single Envirosax rolls up to be about the size of a piece of sushi and weighs only 1.4oz (about 40g). Singularly or in a pouch the bags are small enough and light enough to fit easily in your glove box, pocket or purse, so forgetting your green bags won?t be a problem anymore. The graphic series bags roll out to be 19.5? by 16.5? (49.5cm by 41.9cm), and can safely hold about 44lbs (20kg) thanks to the strong polyester fabric and reinforced seams. The bags are waterproof and the inks used on the bags (in a range of rich solid colors and attractive patterns) won?t run when the bag is washed. Belinda and Mark David-Tooze, a couple committed to sustainable living and minimizing human environmental impacts, founded Envirosax in 2004. This commitment is evident in their own lifestyle, as well as their clever bag design. The David-Toozes live off the grid, using photovoltaic cells for their electricity needs, water collected from rain-tanks, and they grow their own organic fruit and vegetables on their rainforest property. Proceeds from Envirosax are used to support conservation groups such as the Australian Marine Conservation Society, the Surfrider Foundation and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand. |
