PAPER, PLASTIC OR GREEN?
We just discovered Simple Peace Bags, stylish and reusable bags that help the environment and the artisans that make them.
Founder DeAnna Reposa went on a journey to reduce her paper and plastic shopping lifestyle and created her own brand: Simple Peace.
Initially, she bought every reusable canvas, fabric, and polypropylene recycled product, and wasn't sold on any one.
"They were either too flimsy, or didn't wash well," she said. "I wanted fabric that was organic or sustainable, beautiful and washable."
Now she produces Simple Peace Bags made of high-quality certified organic cotton, hemp and recycled canvas, and they're manufactured in Orange County!
You can choose from "The Suburban Shopping System," a set of bags and carrier that make shopping green a cinch. Just leave the bags in the back of your car, and transfer them to your grocery cart.
Simple Peace also offers urban shopping bags, farmer's market bags, and beautiful Tigmi basket totes hand woven by a fair trade artisan cooperative in Essaouira, Morocco. Available online (free shipping through August) or at Zinc Café and Market in Corona del Mar or Laguna Beach; Mother's Market in Costa Mesa; and the Road Less Traveled Store in Santa Ana.
