Eco-Bag Overload – Landfills Are Being Cluttered With Fashionably Green Alternatives Edit
Landfills Are Being Cluttered With Fashionably Green Alternatives

As the green movement gains further momentum, the majority of people are switching to reusable eco-bags in place of the traditional plastic grocery bags.  Even top designers are giving away free eco-bags in order to jump on the free-publicity bandwagon (just type eco-bag into your search box).

Unfortunately though, things are getting out of control. This eco-bag trend is reducing plastic bag clutter, only to replace it with eco-bag clutter. On average, and this is just an estimate, most households now probably have over a dozen eco-bags that have been collected over the past year or two. The problem is, the pile keeps on growing, yet there is only so much grocery-shopping households can do.

So, as much as it is great to reduce the amount of plastic bags going into our landfills, eco-bags are cluttering household drawers and closets. One could argue that instead of cluttering the landfills, eco-bags are simply spreading the clutter around into homes.

Here is a great trend idea: An eco-bag organizer of some sort!
