Designed to fit over supermarket checkout frames. Made of rip-stop nylon that won't tear.
The Sierra Club sez:
* In New York City alone, one less grocery bag per person per year would reduce waste by 109 tons and save $11,000 in disposal costs.
* Plastic bags carry 80% of the nation's groceries, up from 5% in 1982.
* When 1 ton of paper bags is reused or recycled, 3 cubic meters of landfill space is saved and 13 - 17 trees are spared! In 1997, 955,000 tons of paper bags were used in the United States.
* When 1 ton of plastic bags is reused or recycled, the energy equivalent of 11 barrels of oil are saved.
IdealBite sez:
*In the United States, 12 million barrels of oil and 14 million trees go to producing plastic and paper bags each year.

This is maybe the next level of plastic-alternative shopping bags. The acme workhorse, with its nylon design, conveniently fits into a tiny carrying sheath that will fit in your jacket pocket, your purse, or your glove box. It's also designed to fit over the frames at supermarkets that hold plastic bags, making it easy for baggers to use.

I love my little bag. I also own Chico bags - also very cool. This one just folds up so small and flat and it really is a workhorse. It'll hold a lot of weight and not tear.
