Paper, Plastic or Me: MyConservationBaby Offers a Simple Conservation Solution

It is estimated that each person will use thousands of plastic bags in a lifetime. Some get recycled, most don't. Many people have seen them blowing down the street or even stuck to a tree. MyConservationBaby.com has the solution to the plastic bag problem.

MyConservationBaby.com, the first online baby boutique offering baby clothes tees with conservation messages, announces a new addition to its family. The Paper, Plastic or ME? tote is a 100 percent cotton black canvas reusable agrocery baga that eliminates picking the lesser of two evils.

At 16a x 18a with a 5a gusset, the tote takes the place of nearly three plastic bags of groceries. Before designing the tote, MyConservationBaby.com owner Ellen McNeillresearched plastic bag usage. McNeill's research revealed that the average individual uses thousands of plastic bags during a lifetime. She found three questions that shoppers should ask when they are automatically handed a plastic bag:

. Do I need a plastic bag for this already well-packaged item?

. Do I need to take as many plastic bags in supermarkets?

. Could I bring my own shopping bag when making purchases?

Research also shows that millions of plastic bags end up as litter blowing down the street and even in trees. Plastic bags take months to hundreds of years to break down. McNeill suggests that a Paper, Plastic or ME? tote is a common sense alternative. McNeill reports that the tote is getting rave reviews from professional product reviewers.

Shauna Greer, reviewer for Celebrity Baby Clothes, compares the MyConservationBaby.com Paper, Plastic or ME? tote to designer Anya Hindmarch's "I Am Not A Plastic Bag" tote recently in the headlines. aWe have the new aITa shopping tote for you, one that's way more practical, affordable and fresh. Made with black durable cotton and a cheeky phrase - it will keep you and baby chic as you shop. It fits a ton of groceries, and you'll be helping out Mother Earth by reducing your use of plastic bags.a

Candace Lindemann, owner of Mamanista of Southold, New York says, aI am starting to see them pop up all over New York! This is sure to be a hot item this season as new parents look for ways to model their values for their impressionable little ones.a

Celebrities such as Kanye West, Nancy Wilson and Gloria Estefan received the tote in their "Green and Glitzy" celebrity gift bag at a recent Grammy Foundation event. (See the Press Room at MyConservationBaby.com.)

A few countries have taken tangible action to reduce the number of plastic bags used. Ireland, South Africa and Australia heavily tax plastic bags and have banned their use entirely because of their environmental impact. It has been reported that England and some U.S. cities are considering similar actions.

Paper and plastic bags both come at a great cost to the environment. Instead of accepting paper or plastic at the supermarket, shoppers can now use the Paper, Plastic or ME? tote. Any shopper can help make a difference to the environment and to the future of babies all around the world by reducing the number of plastic bags they use.
