Ways To Use Reusable Bags

If you're looking for a way to look stylish while you're saving the planet, consider purchasing a reusable bag, such as the ones offered by Baggu. Not only will you look great while carrying your necessities from one place to another, but you'll also be reducing the amount of plastic bags that end up in landfills. 

While reusable bags are typically used for bringing your groceries home from the store, there are many other ways that you can put them to good use. You can typically purchase reusable bags from grocery stores and other retailers, but the quality may not be great. You may have to spend a bit more to get a higher quality reusable bag, but your investment will pay off over time. 

When looking for the perfect reusable bag to buy, pick one that is constructed of heavyweight nylon, or durable canvas. If you live in a rainy climate, look for a bag that is also waterproof. You don't have to sacrifice the style for durability, either, as reusable bags usually come in a variety of colors and patterns, such as cats, dogs, and floral motifs. Canvas bags may also feature attractive hardware details, such as studs and grommets. 

Here are some ways you can put reusable bags to good use:

1. Customized Gift Bags

If you have eco-conscious friends or loved ones, treat them to attractive and convenient reusable bags. Not only can they use them every day, but you can also place other gifts in the bag as well. Pick a theme and then include items, such as gardening tools, travel snacks, and necessities, such as eye pillows and earplugs, gourmet baking supplies, or sewing accessories. 

2. Dance and Workout Bags 

Haul all of your dance class or workout gear to and from the studio or gym in style with a reusable bag. They're handy for carrying dance or athletic shoes, leotards, tights, leg warmers, water bottles, and snacks. Since you'll be putting dirty and sweaty items in the bag, look for one that is machine washable. 

3. Beach Totes 

A waterproof reusable bag can easily transform into the ultimate beach bag. Buy a larger one that can accommodate a beach towel or two, a change of clothing, water bottles, a snack or two, a sun hat, and sunscreen. 

Not only with a well-constructed bag hold up to the elements, such as water and sand, but you can also conveniently wipe it down, or throw it in your washer, when you get home.
