3B Bags - Reuseable produce bags

Read about these reusable produce bags today. They are made of a fine mesh with a drawstring, are machine washable, virtually weightless, and see through. They fold up small and keep the market plastic bags out of the landfills.

These make more sense than many of the reusable bags currently on the market: I hate the idea of carrying meat in a bag that can't be washed. What I don't like about those and many cloth grocery bas is that there's no structure, so things are likely to get squashed by the pressure of the sides.

I have a couple reusable bags I got at Fresh Farms that I like: they're made of some kind of plastic-coated canvas (kind of like duct tape, but not sticky or stretchy) and are sewed into the same shape as an old-fashioned paper bag, although they're a bit bigger. They're very sturdy (right now one is holding most of a bushel of apples,) and while they aren't machine washable, they're easy to wipe down.
