b. happybags, Bags for the Planet - With all the incessant hoo-hah about giving your kids reusable trick-or-treat bags this year, we wanted to remind good-intentioned people that Halloween-themed cloth bags with cutesy pumpkins and witches emblazoned on them may not be the best idea after all.
Buying reusable trick-or-treat bags that only would be used once a year, if that, or tossed out because you've accumulated dozens of them from various eco-pushing sources, isn't that eco-friendly in the long run. If you opt out of the classic pillowcase for candy-hauling, for pretty's sake, please try to go more practical and seasonally neutral in your choice of reusable bag.
Although our choice may be more non-traditional, we found a solution that will help save the planet, and you money: b. happybags' reusable grocery bags. Finally, we've found heavy-duty totes that are both stylish and practical, made to hold serious grocery items like gallons of milk. They are available in more than 20 styles and give you no excuse to "do as I say, not as I do." Once the kids have plundered the neighborhood for candy, you can forage the supermarket in good conscience.

Envirosax
We also love Envirosax resuable totes as well, which you can use to separate perishables from cleaning products within a larger tote, like a b. happybag. You can get a set of 5 Envirosax for $34.95.
