Leftoverbags.com - The Blog

We need strong hands if we are ever going to punch every single person we see carrying a leftover bag.

Wow, been seeing some great things about bags lately… The internet is an amazing thing in it’s capacity to spread the word! We gotten get them bags picked up, before they get us.

Just look what happened to toads friend frog.

Anyway, here is a pretty good slide show about tragic leftover bags done by Pocono Records. There is a YouTube video that was similar which i saw the other day. Will post it to the videos soon! Spread the word!!

Death of a Plastic Bag

if anyone knows this girl we’d like to say thank you.

I’m trying to get my mother to abandon plastic bags. Granted this is a little unfair of me because A. We have a dog I will survive. I still occasionally use them myself. But now that I stumbled upon leftoverbags.com I’m making the switch for good. These 100% organic cotton bags are just too freakin’ funny to not be worn on my shoulder, or anyone else’s for that matter.

Bags can be purchased on the website for $15.00 including shipping. The bags are pretty big - definitely large enough to fit a days worth of unneeded crap one picks up on errands, or to hold all the yummy things you bought to cook me dinner. The best feature of the bag (along with saving the environment one bag at a time) is choosing what exactly your new ecofriendly bag will look like. (Geez this word has been overused lately.)

Before you pay for your bag flip through the online gallery and choose one of Robin Lee’s images to impose on the bag. Lee, who specializes in what he calls “wacky art”, does all the artwork on the bags. Wacky art is simply satirical and/or whimsical paintings done by Lee with leftoverbags.com in mind. These include a painting of penguins partying it up at a penguin strip club, plastic bags waiting in line at a voting booth, and my favorite, a fork and spoon in the delivery room holding a baby spork. Sporks are by far the cutest utensil; and a baby spork wrapped in a blanket in his mothers arms? Simply adorable. Lee also paints a lot of scenes depicting his concern for the environment if you want to be clear that your bag is making more than a fashion statement.

The website also contains some surprisingly funny anecdotes about plastic bags, like a link of plastic bag jokes some of which are quite funny if you enjoy jokes about dead babies.  In addition to the bag jokes is a photo journal of plastic bags a la American Beauty, and a very helpful link of suggestive uses for plastic bags (ghetto kite).

By far the greatest thing about leftoverbags.com is how much fun the folks behind the screen seem to be having while raising hell about plastic bags. They know how important it is to reuse and reduce but instead of being preachy about it they’re making jokes. And I don’t care how old you are a plastic bag dead baby joke never ages.
