Recently, it has become popular for companies to use fabric or more “reusable” bags in a retail environment. Over time, I saved up a lot of these bags and tried to reuse them for different things. While the intention of a reusable bag is great, many forget the environmental consequences and water consumption it takes to make a fabric bag. In a recent UK study, it was found that a cotton bag would have to be reused 131 times at least to breakeven with the impact of a single use plastic bag. The link to this study is below:

So I decided to take some of these bags and turn them into clothing. So far I have made about seven shirts and hope to make more in the coming weeks. Many people have been interested in purchasing these shirts, and I am hoping to sell these with a portion of the profits going towards UGA Miracle, one of the philanthropies I am involved in who benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
