All the Buzz
Date: August 24, 2009 | Category: Bags, Fashion, Food & Drink, Holiday & Gift
The concern over the amount of garbage we produce is a hot topic these days - but even hotter is the buzz over the innovations surrounding reuse and recycling. A Healthy Green Home’s bright, funky Honey Bee reusable messenger bag (along with the rice sack lunch bag and wine carrier) are our current fav finds.
Lightweight, durable and inherently waterproof, the colorful bags are great for anyone looking to add a little spunk to their reusable bag options and make a statement about conscious shopping. By providing income to unemployed workers in the Philippines, and using discarded juice boxes and rice sacks, A Healthy Green Home works to alleviate two of the most pressing issues of today. When’s the last time your bag embodied that much good?
While the bags are a fabulous, the company understands their place in the journey to a more sustainable solution - “Recycling bags is a good start…. [but] creating biodegradable juice cartons and rice sacks is the solution to the problem down the road. Recycling the current material buys us time until we address the core issue.” A company with an ultimate goal to not have the need to create more of their product? We’re impressed!
