Green Light: Baggu

In honor of Earth Day, I've decided to start a new recurring feature here on littlebits that I am calling "Green Light," in which I will highlight earth-friendly brands, products, and ideas. Today's featured brand is Baggu, maker of stylish reusable shopping bags, totes, produce bags, and now backpacks. I just ordered a couple of Baggu shopping bags last week, and already I am loving them. They come in a ton of fun colors (I chose the navy stripe), and they fold flat into a small pouch--just toss into your purse (or keep them in your glove compartment, gents) and go! Baggus are made of durable rip-stop nylon, and even though I thought that perhaps I should purchase reusable totes made of a greener material like organic cotton or hemp, I ultimately decided that the ultra-portability and style factor of the Baggus meant that I would be more likely to actually use them. Plus, when your bags wear out, you can send them back to Baggu and they will recycle them and give you a $1 credit per bag toward a future purchase! If you still need more convincing, Baggu is offering free shipping on all orders until midnight tonight with promo code "earth10"...happy shopping!
