I am SO excited to have an option to recycle the many plastic bags that come into my home in spite of my efforts to avoid plastic packaging. And it's fun to do -- my neighbors kids love helping me and it's a great introduction to recycling for them. Thank you for making the Obaggo available to folks like me who just care deeply about trying to do the right thing.
Wow, you don't realize how normalized throwing plastic away is until you buy one of these. Easy and convenient to use and recycle.
