We actually control MOST consumer spending which makes us a powerful group! This also means that if women adopt reusable bags we can truly make a positive impact on the environment. As you all know by now, Americans use 100 BILLION plastic bags each year. If just one family chooses reusable bags over plastic or paper they can take 500+ plastic bags out of the system. Pretty cool! For more info/stats you can check out our Why Reusable page at http://www.ecologiebags.com/content.fsp?id=108671. And while the WalMart ones are functional, they're not exactly what I'd call eco-chic. :) Cindy President, Ecologie Bags Well, the fact is (right or not) women still do 85% of the grocery shopping for US households.
