In the spirit of socially responsible commerce, twelve nyc is dedicating itself to ushering in a new era of Just Say No. That is, say no to plastic grocery bags. With the introduction of its 100% biodegradable natural cotton canvas grocery tote, twelve nyc hopes to facilitate a green and stylish lifestyle.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually, which accumulate and persist on our planet for up to 1,000 years. Toting a high quality, reusable twelve nyc grocery tote has the potential to eliminate an average of 1,000 plastic bags over its lifetime.
Printed on natural cotton canvas with eco-friendly, water-based ink in black, pink, green, orange or purple, each twelve nyc grocery tote is made in the USA by union workers. The totes are machine washable and come in three convenient shopper sizes.
“With twelve we’ve always been about offering simple, modern and stylish ways to organize and tote the basics of your life,” says twelve nyc founder Katie Wickes. “With more and more dialogue opening up about banning plastic grocery bags, the development of a green alternative to plastic was a natural for us. We’re very excited about this new segment of our brand.”Take a look at our great new Grocery totes in our Eco Section!
