Hafa adai,

In the context of global environmental issues, one
thing we can each do is reduce the use of plastic. A key example of this is the
global movement to eliminate or charge for plastic shopping bags in
supermarkets, and it has become common to bring your own bag when you go
shopping.
In Guam, strict regulations have been implemented,
and the use of plastic shopping bags is generally prohibited. As a result,
people have started bringing their own “My Bag,” and durable,
stylish, cute, and functional shopping bags are now being sold.

Today, I’ll introduce some shopping bags that are
perfect for use during your trip to Guam. I’ve picked out bags that are both
designed and functional.

Popular with tourists are the bags featuring Guam
designs. Designs with words like “GUAM” and “HAFA ADAI,” as
well as iconic sights and symbols representing Guam, make great souvenirs for
your trip.

Collaboration bags featuring characters such as
Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, and Doraemon are also very popular in Guam.

The foldable types are very convenient because you
can store them in your bag before going shopping. There is a wide variety,
including Guam designs and character collaboration designs.

Some people may find it bothersome to fold the bag
after use, but here’s a great option for those people. Simply pull both ends
and the bag will fold into a long, slim shape. Afterward, just roll it up. The
folded bag becomes very compact. It also specifies the weight limit it can
carry, and many of the colors and designs are unisex.
The items introduced above are exclusive to the
stores in Guam where they are sold. Additionally, many other stores also offer
great bags, so be sure to find your favorite!
