Now, it should be obvious that we here at Delight are determined to make the plastic shopping bag obsolete.   We want to make sure that there is a reusable shopping bag for everyone, no matter your taste and no matter your needs.  We’re excited to carry a new style of Envirosax to improve our selection and make sure we offer the best and brightest! 


We all know looks are important…in bags, of course, and we love the Japanese influences apparent in the Mikado designs, but in the end, the real purpose of these bags is to help stop the every day waste that must be curbed to help our planet survive.  We thought we’d give a little reminder of why plastic bags are just no good:

Plastic bag facts

    * Approx. 380 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year. That’s more than 1,200 bags per US resident, per year.
    * Approx. 100 billion of the 380 billion are plastic shopping bags.
    * An estimated 12 million barrels of oil is required to make that many plastic bags.
    * Only 1 to 2% of plastic bags in the USA end up getting recycled.
    * Thousands of marine animals and more than 1 million birds die each year as a result of plastic pollution.
    * The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter floating in every square mile of ocean.
    * Plastic bags are often mistakenly ingested by animals, clogging their intestines, which results in death by starvation. Other animals or birds become entangled in plastic bags and drown or can’t fly as a result.
    * Even when they photo-degrade in landfill, the plastic from single-use bags never goes away, and toxic particles can enter the food chain when they are ingested by unsuspecting animals.
    * Greenpeace says that at least 267 marine species are known to have suffered from getting entangled in or ingesting marine debris. Nearly 90% of that debris is plastic.
    * Americans consume more than 10 billion paper bags per year. Approximately 14 million trees are cut down every year for paper bag production.
    * Most of the pulp used for paper shopping bags is virgin pulp, as it is considered stronger.
    * Paper production requires hundreds of thousands of gallons of water as well as toxic chemicals like sulphurous acid, which can lead to acid rain and water pollution.
