Delight.com Green Scene - Save on RuMe Reusable Bags!
So there I was standing in line at the grocery store, behind some lady who literally seemed to have wrapped every bloomin’ orange she bought in its own plastic bag! On top of that I always wondered why people take celery that is already encased in plastic and stick it in yet another plastic bag. Hello!?
Anyhow it got me thinking that enough was enough. I really need to do my part and purchase some re-usable bags for groceries and other everyday chores. Example - hauling my laundry to and from my parent’s house on the weekend. 
Thus began my search for a stylish way to solve the problem of plastic shopping bags? Ding- Ding - Ding - Jackpot! Check out RuMe which was designed for busy men and women who want a lightweight and easy to use bag that can tote groceries in style.
Turns out the name RuMe stands for Reuse Me - clever little chaps, huh!
Better yet they offer adorable patterns that run the gamut from Hamptons Chic to Ultra-Modern Classics! I am really tired of the notion that people who care about the environment are dweebs, I would argue that hauling around passe’ plastic bags looks down right drab and ignorant.
Utility is where RuMe really shines, big enough to hold a five gallon container of water, but structured enough to hold just a few items and not crumple up in the back seat, these bags are tops!!
The design mimics an old-fashioned paper bag, and has squared sides and a bottom to easily fit anything. Plus, the handles are made to fit REAL people…with plenty of room to slide over bulky jackets or sweaters. Grocery or mall shopping; as a gym, sports, diaper or beach bag; for après ski, picnics or overnighters; for laundry, farmer’s markets, work or as ReUseable gift bags.
RuMe Bags are made from 180 denier polyester, with water-resistant coating; the innovative box stitch design offers a structured environment for loading goods, while maintaining a flexible space for over-sized, bulky items.
By incorporating RuMe Bags into our everyday lives, we can do our part in reducing the estimated:
• 17 billion gallons of oil used annually to produce plastic bags
• 100 billion plastic bags Americans throw away after a single use
• And save more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles that die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic
Good grief, I’m all out of excuses. Time to put down my baby seal sandwich and do my part to save the planet. (I kid, I kid)
OH and they cost $28.50 - WORTH IT!
