How it does good
Almost 270 species have been affected by plastic pollution, primarily from single-use bags. What's more, Americans toss 40 million tons of food each year, a whole bunch of it produce that went bad in the fridge or on the counter. Vejibag is out to extend the shelf life of fruits and veggies (meaning less waste), and, by cutting out single-use plastic, it's extending the life of our planet. Created by Sally Erickson as an eco-friendly, freshness solution for her local co-op, the Vejibag went from a living room project to a community endeavor to the star of a sustainable business. Free from dyes and other chemicals, the organic cotton used in their bags is fully traceable and hand-sewn at worker-owned Opportunity Threads in North Carolina.

Vejibag
Created in 2013 by Sally Erickson, Vejibag was born out of necessity. She needed to keep veggies as fresh as possible from the time they were picked in her year-round, Eastport, Maine greenhouse until they were taken home by customers from the local co-op market. And she wanted to do that without creating plastic waste or using toxic chemicals.
