After unloading your groceries, you've probably accumulated lots of plastic bags and stuck them inside another plastic bag. Until stores offer more sustainable packaging, the best thing we can do is cut down on single-use plastics as much as possible.\r\n\r\nWhile it may not be possible to eliminate single-use plastics from your home, you can <\/em>repurpose them and extend their life a little longer. For example, put those mesh bags to good use and make a scrubbie<\/a> out of them!\r\n

Make your scrubbie after you've unloaded all your groceries, or save mesh bags over time until you have enough. It's totally OK if one of the mesh bags is stringy or broken\u2014just use that bag for the center. Make sure to save your finest mesh piece for the outer layer.\r\n
