Product Description
Reduce your environmental impact. Re-use this hardwearing canvas grocery bag. Every one of these bags purchased has the potential to eliminate hundreds, if not thousands, of plastic or paper bags over its lifetime.
Stylish 'hungry for change' design on one side. Trade as One design on the other. Comfortable wide canvas straps can be hand-held or worn over the shoulder.
It's good for the environment, good for you and good for the Mexican workers who are now employed in a worker-owned co-operative operating under fair trade conditions.
