chicobag original reusable grocery bag with attached pouch and carabiner clip, variety 4 pack - blue, green, purple, and red chicobag in early 2004, i took a trip to the local landfill after spending the day landscaping my backyard. i was horrified by how many single-use bags filled the scene. plastic bags blanketed the landscape in a thin mix of white and beige plastic.<br /> <br /> on my way home, i continued to notice plastic bags everywhere; caught in trees and on fence posts, half drowned in gutter puddles and blowing in the streets like urban tumbleweeds. i vowed to stop using single-use bags for good. inspired, i dropped a few bucks on a secondhand sewing machine and began sewing what would ultimately become the first chicobag brand reusable bag.
