Freeset Grocery Bag

NOVEMBER SPECIAL!!

down from $7.95 to  just $4.95!!

Many reusable grocery bags are made from nylon & have plastic bottoms…not this one!

The widespread movement away from plastic supermarket bags is fantastic. Unfortunately however, many reusable bags are plastic based and will also be with us forever!

These jute bags from Freeset solve this problem. Jute is a rapid growth rain-fed crop that doesn’t need much in the way of fertilizer or pesticides. The stem and outer skin of the 3 meter plant is used for fabric.

* Jute fabric is commonly known as hessian or burlap.
* India produces around two thirds of the world's jute.
* Environmentally friendly, jute fiber can be recycled.
* You can eat it! Apparently it's a bit like spinach.

Freeset is a Fair Trade business offering employment to women trapped in Kolkata's sex trade. They make quality, environmentally friendly jute bags but their main business is in empowering women with the choice of leaving a profession they never chose in the first place. So by purchasing these bags, and ditching the plastic, you provide a great 'hand up' to these women as well as the environment - hard to beat that!
