Luckily I don't have to drive all that much every day. But I do drive. I wish I lived in a place where everything I needed (stores, school and friends) were within walking or bus distance. For now, the reality is that we, as a family do spend time in our car. One thing I try to stay on top of on a daily basis is the build up of garbage in the car. It tends to start piling up unless I bring an awareness to the waste we accumulate through daily life. While I don't advocate buying more stuff in the guide of saving more stuff, I thing it is important to have a method to the madness. This little bag (above) from AlysonHill on Etsy.com is a great way to get the true picture of how much trash gets built up in our cars and a great way to keep it all in one place. Here's all the information from AlysonHill:
WHAT IS SO UNIQUE ABOUT THIS BAG:
First of all, this bag features a fully adjustable strap. Not only can you choose the strap placement (side or center) but you can also tighten the strap EXACTLY how you want it. No more wishing there was just one more snap or one more hole (think about your belt). Next, there is the flexible plastic liner which slips in and out of the fabric case. Simply insert a plastic bag and tuck the excess in between the two layers to keep it concealed. No more ugly bag! Finally, there are tons of fabric choices to personalize your automobile - what could be better?
WHAT IS THIS DESIGNED FOR:
This bag is designed to hang over your stick shift, across the back of your headrest, or wherever you can think of! This bag is NOT designed to hold drive-thru trash, bottles (recycle those!), cans (recycle those too!), etc. This bag IS designed for all that small trash that tends to clutter up your cup holders and such.
THE STRAP SYSTEM:
The strap measures approximately 25" long and can be attached in one of two ways: on the side for hanging from a stick shift or in the center for hanging across a headrest. The strap attaches with a heavy-duty snap. Once snapped in place, simply wrap the other end of the strap around the shift/headrest, thread through the buckle and tighten as needed. Tuck the excess strap in between the inner liner and the outer fabric case. If you ever need to remove the bag you can do so without unthreading the strap, simply unsnap the bag and the strap will remain installed.
THE BAG:
The inner liner is made of black post-consumer recycled plastic and is specially designed to stay open for ease of use while driving. This plastic liner is not leak-proof so be sure to use plastic baggies for added protection. All you do is insert a plastic bag and then tuck the excess in between the two layers along the top edge so that there is no ugly bag hanging over the side (like a garbage can).
WHAT KIND OF PLASTIC BAG TO USE?
One roll of *biodegradable* baggies (15 bags per roll) is included. You can purchase similar rolls from most pet stores (doggie clean-up bags). These baggie rolls are handy to keep in your glove compartment or store at the bottom of your Auto Trash Bag (they measure about the size of a film canister).
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Spot cleaning or hand washing for long lasting durability and color retention.
