EconoGreen Trash Bags


I'm always on the lookout for products and ways in general to be slightly more eco-chic today than I was yesterday. It may sound silly, but every time I drudge to the trash container to drop in my trash bags, I feel a little bit guilty. Even with all of the items I recycle, there are items it's impossible not to throw away.

So, imagine my delight when I was asked to try out environmentally friendly and biodegradable trash bags.

I received a set of sample bags, which ranged from small trash can liners to huge yard and lawn size bags. My fiance and I put them all to the test lining bathroom and kitchen liners with the various types of bags and even stuffing a big pile of clothes into one to be dropped off for donation.

The quality of the bags are superb. Since they're 100% biodegradable, you may expect that they are less sturdy or downright flimsy, but these bags are far from it. Each bag held up to its duty without ripping, tearing or stretching until a hole formed in it. I also felt a lot less guilty when traipsing off to the trash bin with it. I urge you to check them out for yourself at Econogreen.com. You can also buy the bags at local stores such as Home Depot.
