How many plastic produce bags are you ripping off that seemingly endless roll during a trip to the grocery store? Most of us don’t think twice about it, let alone keep track, but these are the kinds of single-use plastic products that are negatively impacting the environment and putting your (and your family’s) health at risk.

Now of course, nobody’s perfect, but while you might not be able to eliminate all plastic from your lifestyle, you can always use reusable produce bags in an attempt to reduce your carbon footprint. These lightweight mesh bags are easy to fold up and pack in your purse so you’re never without one. They’re also machine washable, meaning you never have to worry about them getting gross or being hard to clean.
