When shopping, you may be asked if you would like paper or plastic bags. If this option is available, it is best to go with paper bags. Paper biodegrades much faster than the plastic bags because it comes from wood. Even though the wood comes from trees, it is generally still a better choice because most companies that log the forests that the paper is from will replant trees.
Using a synthetic bag may be one of the best items you can go shopping with. With this option, you will not be using either paper or plastic. In addition, it is a reusable bag, which means you can use it as often as you go shopping. These bags are generally made up of a combination of recycled fabrics. The only problem with these bags is that if you go shopping for a large number of items you probably will need quite a few bags.
Leather bags may not be the greatest for shopping as the moisture from the food items may damage the leather, but it is the strongest material out of the group. The leather can be used to carry your work from the office or your wallet and keys on a night out. Whatever the reason or the event, there will be a perfect leather bag ready for the occasion. And for those who would rather not spend the money on real leather, there is pleather, a synthetic leather, available from stores such as Target and Wal-Mart at a fraction of the price of real leather even though it looks and feels similar.
