How many jute bags does a person need?

The other day, a colleague came back from the press appointment, on the shoulder a purple fabric bag that was really difficult to overlook. « Cool new bag! » I notice. « Oh yes, another one, » she laughs, almost resigned. We are both mentally mentally mentally with crowded drawers and fully stuffed trunk. As if you didn’t have enough.

At the last wardrobe muck, I counted them through: 34 pieces. Fortunately, it is less – many were donated or given away by simply putting gifts in one of these bags. « Oh, you can keep them, » it says generously.

There are the colorful, the gray, the classic beige. Bags of conferences, as a greeting to the new job, from online orders (gladly hidden in the package as a thank you) and occasionally even bought it myself-because … yes, I like it. They are practical and often they have a nice motif. Sure, they cut nasty into the shoulder, quickly look dussy and you rarely find what you are looking for. Nevertheless, it remains the best kind of bag for me.

Only there are just too many. Of course, I find the farewell of disposable plastic bags important. Of course I find the designs charming, but slowly it is enough. The meaning of reusable is finally reused, not accumulating. Not to mention that, according to experts, a cotton bag Between 7,000 and 22,000 missions needs to compensate for your environmental balance.

Oh, you sustainable consumption.
