About
Totelife was born in 2020, when Adam and Matt realized that one tote bag can have a big impact on the world.
The idea came about when they were leaving their local grocery store and saw a farmers field full of plastic bags blowing in the wind. They realized that something needed to be done about single-use plastic bags. They decided that living life tote-ally awesome means living environmentally conscious. They both have a love and excitement for tote-ally awesome totes, but more importantly the change their totes can have on the environment.
They envision a world where single-use plastic bags are completely eliminated. So together they created a new company, Totelife.
