The "green movement" is really taking off this year; it seems that a lot of people who wouldn't consider themselves "hippies" are making small changes in their lives to be more environmentally friendly. Every grocery store chain is selling their own reusable shopping bags; I am developing quite a collection. When I got my very own Reisenthel Market Basket, I felt that I had finally reached an oasis of reusable-shopping STYLE in a sea of lack luster fabric bags.
I love this basket. It is light (made from tear-proof polyester and sleek aluminum), very sturdy (it holds up to 55 pounds, but I'm not sure I can), has a small zippered pocket on the inside, and a nice, rigid bottom.
I love that the Reisenthel Market Basket is lightweight and collapsible: I plan to use it in Asia when I go to outdoor markets. I think it would be a handy way to corral the children's toys when we are traveling, because I can set it up easily in a hotel room as a mini-toy box.
The Market Basket is a smart alternative to giveaway plastic & paper bags. Lightweight, collapsible and comfortable to carry. Comparable size to store hand basket. Ideally suited for farmer's markets, small grocery loads, picnics, & gardening.
The Reisenthel Market Basket is available for purchase at ReusableBags.com . They also have a very adorable Kids Market Basket by Reisenthel: it is a wee version of the original; definitely on my wish list!
I have a Reisenthel Market Basket in the Art Deco design (pictured with Baby Deak, but new, still in the package) to giveaway to one very lucky MyGreening reader!
