Cotton carry bags are better for the environment. Marcs drawings of markets around the world are printed on to cotton bags and sold for $10 each. They are colorful, sturdy but most of all, can be used over and over. Plastic bags cost only pennies to produce and are usually handed out for free. But what about the costs to our environment, the waste of resources, energy and landfill space? When you think about it, the switch from plastic to cotton makes "cents" in fact 80 centsof every cotton bags sold at the atwater market is donated to the FONDATION DE LA FAUNE DU QUEBEC
