Back To Burlap

When I was a youngster lots of things came in burlap bags, like potatoes at the market. If you went to a Farmer's Market type place they might place your entire order in a burlap bag. Those bags came in handy at home too but then came plastic bags and burlap kind of went by the wayside. These days people are trying their darndest to be environmentally aware and helpful about preserving the Earth. Today I found a company that is like that, offering burlap gift bag. These bags are not all shiny and full of razzle dazzle like plastics might be but they serve their purpose and they serve it well. And, being a natural product they certainly help the environment. They make great gift bags and, once the gift is opened, they can be used for things around the house. For instance you can use these bags many many times as a lunch bag for school or work. Burlap is very long lasting and durable and you would be hard pressed to wear them out this way. Another great use for these bags is with plants. Burlap tends to hold water very well and they can be used to ensure that your plants stay moist without over watering. Help preserve the planet you live on, check out all the great bags on the website and put some burlap to a good use.
