Onya Bags- A Clever Replacement for Plastic Shopping Bags

by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 09.26.05
Take Action (eco-tips)

keypouch.jpgWe do go on about plastic grocery bags and what a blight they are. Yet how often are we shopping and realize that we did not bring our box/canvas carrier/reuseable bag and guiltily take one or two for our groceries. Onya has a clever solution to the problem: Its bag comes with a pouch and becomes your key chain, so you always have it with you. We are not quite sure how one drives with a bag of groceries hanging from the ignition The bag is stuffed in the pouch, much like a sleeping bag in a stuffsack. It appears to be sold as a promotional item or fundraiser but is available for direct purchase. ::Onya Bags via tipster Bonnie
