Perfect Green Holiday Stocking: Reusable Bag from Whole Foods

Tired of traditional holiday stockings? Or maybe Santa finally put too many oranges in yours and it broke last year. . .

Try a designer reusable bag from Whole Foods Market. Fill it with organic apples and chocolate for the perfect holiday gift. And, unlike a holiday stocking, you (or the lucky gift recipient) can use this bag year-round. It’s is also an unbeatable gift bag — very affordable, recycled and completely reusable.

On Wednesday, October 15, that cute bag you see will be available at Whole Foods nationwide. 

It’s their first designer exclusive reusable bag. And it’s only .99 cents. A smaller bag is available for .79 cents.

Best of all, the bag is made from 80% post-consumer plastic bottles. It’s called A Better Bag.

If that’s not enough, the bag features a lovely tree with a special message written by Sheryl Crow.

This bag was created to encourage shoppers to embrace simple steps in their everyday lives to reduce consumption and to help spread awareness about the Natural Resources Defense Council and its Simple Steps program.

Curious about sizes?

The large bag is 14 x 15.5 x 8, while the smaller bag measures 9.5 x 12 x 7.5.
