At first, I’ll admit, I thought it was a bit overdone. I mean, who really needs such fancy reusable pouches? But then I tried a few and I’m hooked!
These pouches, by Posh Pouches, are covered in beautiful and playful fabrics, and lined to handle anything from drippy or sticky treats to jewelry and electronics. They seal tight with a velcro strip across the top. The sandwich bag is my favorite size as it’s big enough for a sandwich but also great for trail mix, a piece of fruit, or a big bundle of sliced veggies.
The pouches are made by two mom friends who realized one day that they were using 1400 ziplock bags every year between their children at school and their husbands at work. Though originally focused on saving money, they realized that by creating cute and functional reusable pouches they could keep an endless stream of plastic out of the landfills, thus helping to save the environment for their children and children’s children.
The pouches retail for less than $10 each so stock up for back-to-school lunches, post work-out snacks, or picnics in the park.
Batteries have long been one of the necessary evils for green-living gadget gurus. But now they don’t have to be.
