Paper vs. Plastic or Democrat vs. Republican?

Photo: Paper vs. Plastic or Democrat vs. Republican? Political volunteers were canvassing the Union Square Farmers Market in full force last Saturday, and I was really bummed I didn't have one of Freddy & Ma's fetching organic cotton "Vote Totes" slung over my shoulder.

The totes, designed by a pair of New York Upper East Siders, are a little slanted in terms of individual candidates--you can "Vote Hillary" or "Vote Obama" and that's it--but they're very even-handed when it comes to parties. Whether voting democratic, republican or even free-spirited independent, you can always vote reusable. In politics as in life, there's always room for a third-party candidate.

Bags are $25/each and can be purchased online at freddyandma.com.

Reusable bags

For those of us who can't afford $25 for a bag, some supermarkets are now selling re-usables for $1.50 each. At my market (Hannaford-east coast) these inexpensive bags can be easily re-folded and tossed back into the car for the next trip to any store.

I've also found a lovely lady making home made shopping bags using organic cotton.
