To help address the problem of plastic waste in the United Arab Emirates, which uses more than 20 billion plastic bags each year, Tide created reusable (washable, natch) bags that can double as grocery lists.
The country’s waste problem is so bad that it’s blamed for the deaths of camels who are thought to have mistaken plastic bags for food.
UAE’s government aims to phase out the use of plastic bags in the country in 2013.
