To Market, To Market—Fashionably
Sheffield Admin Friday, October 3, 2008 at 6:26AM As the world watches presidential and vice-presidential debates with bated breath, we still have to get groceries into the house, don't we? After all, we have to feed all those people coming over to watch the next throw-down.
But what's a shopper to do? You can't bear to bring home one more new plastic bag to shove into the cabinet with all the others just like it. And yet you don’t want to schlep around town carrying a bunch of old plastic bags. And you don’t want to use a string bag and worry if the little things like dental floss or tiny bottles of eye cream will be lost along the way.
And of course you don’t want to look as if you care only about the environment at the expense of looking fabulous.
Don’t worry. Even as you read this, designers are hard at work developing reusable shopping bags that are sturdy, easy to clean (in case of spillage) and that look great.
The bags made by Earthchic are remarkable in that as the name says, they look chic, but they are made of 100% recycled plastic bottles---so not only are you doing a good deed by reusing your bag, but you’re helping provide a new, purposeful life to those old plastic bottles---it takes about ten bottles to make one Earthchic bag.
The Earthchic bags come in those most chic, go-with-anything-colors: black and white.
You can find them at http://www.earthchic.com/

My sister bought one of these. It sells for $30 dollars a piece and really looks good enough to use even if not for marketing. More products like these should come out of the market.
Definitely a great way to help out our environment. Thanks for spreading awareness and about becoming eco-friendly
