Americans throw way an estimated 100 billion plastic bags a year—that's just crazy. We've never had 100 billion of anything but we imagine it is equivalent to turning all the flickering stars in the sky into floating plastic bags. Which might sound pretty, but it's actually really, really sad. On the other hand something you can feel truly amazing about is carrying one of these Thomas Paul tote bags. Inspired by nature, tradition and the outdoors, each tote is sure to get you noticed. Fill one with groceries, your everyday essentials or both! Just prepare to be stopped by strangers and asked where you got your tote. Afterwards you will totally have an idea what it is like to be a celebrity, a socially conscious celebrity that is.
