SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 LA Biters bring home their groceries in reusable bags instead of plastic ones, we'll keep 7 mil plastic bags out of landfills each year.

Baggu means "bag" in Japanese.

On the Wagon

The Bite

OK, so you've vowed to quit your high-pollutin' plastic-bag habit, but are you afraid of falling off the wagon? Shoulder a few Baggus. These jelly bean-colored totes (in nine different colors) fold into flat 5-by-5-in pouches - small enough to slip in the back pocket of our Loomstate Jeans - yet they hold more than your average reusable (a half-dozen can handle the contents of your entire shopping cart). Plus, they're made from durable rip-stop nylon, so you can use 'em for years. Pick up the new striped design for spring, and look for more solid and artist-inspired prints soon - another reason to stay on the wagon.
