Cotton Totes Are Out

Published

Ladies, it is time to dispose of your beloved cotton tote bags. So says the New York Times in a scathing indictment of the environmental impact of these status symbols, which New Yorker types have used for years to signal to the world that they care about that sort of thing. In an article titled “The Cotton Tote Crisis,” the paper of record informs us that you need to use a cotton tote bag a whopping 20,000 times in order to offset the harm it does the environment. Helpfully, they do the math to let us know that amounts to using it every single day for 54 years!

So, think twice before you donate to yet another telethon with the aim of adding to your tote collection. You can still benefit from the peace of mind that comes with carrying your things a reusable bag, but you absolutely do not want one made out of cotton. It is time to switch to a clear vinyl bag:

Clear American Flag Tote Bag — $14.99

Available at Walmart

All right, so you’ll have to switch out the NPR logo for an American flag, but all things considered it is a trade worth making. Made of vinyl and nylon, you do not have to worry about the global harm done by the cotton industry. Ironically, you will technically be returning to the plastic bag you shunned for the organic material in the first place, but because these bags are reusable you are no longer contributing to the rapidly accumulating waste on our shared planet.

These tote bags are the latest product offerings by Expersion, which sells the clear U.S. flag backpacks as well. With modern security measures, more and more situations are requiring clear bags in order to enter—no longer just schools, but also sporting events, concerts, museums, and other public events. Buying one now can save you hassle down the line. Furthermore, as long as our society continues to be ravaged by COVID-19, it helps that these totes are incredibly easy to clean and sanitize.

Since cotton is out, it is time to make a change. Let Expersion help.

School is out, the tide is in, and summer 2022 is a-go. Though the beach was one of those places you could still travel to even at the height of COVID restrictions, the repeal of mask mandates and negative testing requirements sure make the whole experience much more appealing.

Of course, going to the beach for the first time in years likely means you are in need of supplies. If that is the case, you came to the right place. In recent weeks, We Know Products has written about a variety of beach gear, including a beach table, vacuum-insulated margarita tumblers, and an American flag beach umbrella. Here is another one to add to the list: rubber tote bags.

Now, longtime WKP readers know we are partial to the clear tote bags with U.S. flag patches. But we have also heard from fans who say they like the Expersion totes for going to games and concerts, but that they also want something a little more spacious for beach trips. This rubber tote fits the bill.
