Even though we know that the disposable bag we carry our shopping home in is bad for the environment, we still catch ourselves from time to time reaching for a plastic or paper bag at the supermarket checkout. Why? Quite simply: spontaneous purchases.
But you can avoid the grip of the disposable bag in the future by simply stuffing a cotton bag or a shopping net into your bag. This additional shopping bag should have a firm place in your bag. So you will no longer be embarrassed to reach for a disposable bag.
Another clever and great alternative is a large cloth - furoshiki - which you can spontaneously turn into a bag or rucksack using many wrap and knot techniques. A furoshiki is an incredible all-rounder. It can also be converted into a scarf or even a small picnic blanket.
