GreenTime Bags Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

As a mom, I worry about throwing away too many plastic bags. I want our planet to be in good condition when my children are grown. Using reusable sandwich and snack bags is a great way to reduce how many plastic baggies we are throwing away. I recently ran across a company that makes reusable snack and sandwich bags called GreenTime Bags! I was given a reusable snack bag and a reusable sandwich bag as pictured below to review. The bags have a nylon and eva liner on the inside that can be wiped clean. You fold the top down to close with velcro so that your food stays fresh. Bella loves taking her sandwiches and snacks to school in her GreenTime Bags! I love the fact that I don't have to buy as many sandwich/snack bags and the fact that we are throwing less away. GreenTime Bags is a product that this Thrifty Mommy loves! GreenTime Bags has many cute designs to choose from too!!!

More About GreenTime Bags:

One day almost three years ago my 10 year old daughter and I started realizing how plastic affected the environment and how much we were using and throwing away, we decided that something needed to be done and we needed an alternative to plastic baggies.

I did love how convenient and how fresh plastic bags kept my food. I wanted to create a bag that was safe, reusable, convenient, easy to care for, could hold wet snacks and would keep the items fresh for over 24 hours so I could pack lunches the night before.

After much research and testing for a safe lining and a lining that performed the way I needed it to, I discovered nylon and eva fabric.

The Greentime reusable snack and sandwich bags were created.

Since we love the products so much and use them all of the time, we wanted to share them with you. We feel great knowing that we are doing something to help the earth and the future. Whenever I sell something my daughter gets so excited! Not just because it lets her mom continue to stay at home to work but because somebody else is helping the environment. She loves that! We both want to say thank you very much!

Here are some facts about plastic bags:

Did you know that one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide each year? A person uses about three to four plastic bags for their lunch every day, about 1,000 each year. Every year Americans throw away about 100 billion plastic bags, which is equivalent to 12 million barrels of oil! Only one percent of plastic bags are recycled because it is too costly. It takes 1,000 years for plastic to break down since they are not biodegradable. Nearly 100,000 marine animals and sea animals, and 1 million birds die each year from eating or getting tangled in plastic. If everybody gradually eliminates their use of plastic, people will see that little changes can make a big difference.
