Fill Your Own Grocery Bag Chair

After a visit to the grocery store I am always faced with a dilemma: what should I do with all of these leftover plastic bags? Generally, I keep a few to use around the house, but the rest probably ends up in some landfill doing horrible things like killing our environment and choking bald eagles. So, why not recycle all of that mess by stuffing grocery bags into one of these Recycled Carrier Bag Chairs? Apparently, it takes around 2000 bags to fill one of these bad boys up—but with the way most people eat, it shouldn’t take all that long to accomplish.

    In defence of the price of my grocery bag chair, I wanted to put things in perspective by saying that we could indeed make a cheaper chair by having it made in Asia etc, it is however, made by fairly paid adult labour in the UK within 10 miles of my shop. It would also be a good idea to bear in mind that the unfavourable Sterling to US Dollar exchange rate at present, for example makes diesel US$8.60 a gallon and a packet of smokes US$10.

    I’m all for keeping workers employed at home, but even if you cut those prices in half it would be significantly more than most Americans pay for cigarettes or gasoline. That having been said, even if the chair was $70US, people would still argue the price.
