We all know that digital photography is currently a growing hobby for most people and what better way to store that expensive digital camera than with the green bags brought to you by LowerPro. Among their brand carriers include CyclePet, 100% post-consumer fabric made from 16 oz PET bottles. The smallest model, the Terraclime 10, uses exactly 2.5 bottles, while the largest model, the Terraclime 100, uses 22 bottles. Each bag also features an ass

Every once in a while, we want to spend some time away with a friend or the family perhaps and normally picnics are not far from being considered. But while many are wondering on what food to bring and eat, others are thinking of containers and what bottled beverages such as water and juices to buy.
However, if you are in France, beware. Apparently to help control the large utilization of plastic bottles and utensils in their region. It is call

While their main specialty for food consumption is yogurt, it seems that if people want to go to extremes, they can also eat their utensils and trash bags over at Spoon Me, a new franchise that can be a great hangout and eco-friendly to society. Much of this is because these two things, trash bags and utensils, are made from corn derivatives.
Both Combe and Jaynes expressed ambition in expanding Spoon Me to become a national, maybe even a globa

In an effort to transform and limit its carbon footprint, Taco del Mar has taken the initiative to change its current line of food packaging and do its part for contributing towards eco-friendly awareness as far as business is concerned. To most consumers, it would not matter as long as they get their meals but sooner or later, most of us will appreciate the efforts of these companies such as Taco del Mar in doing away with the waste.

There was a time when people who bought wine in a box were considered as being crazy or as having no taste at all. But it seems that they may have been right all along, because recently it has been announced that wine in a box creates much less carbon dioxide emissions than a the wine that comes in a bottle.

With the new school term nearly upon us and so, it is only natural that some kids are going to want to have an eco friendly start to the school year. One way that this can be done is by providing them with some eco friendly school equipment; these are essential supplies so why can’t they be green.

When you think about it, plastic bottles are great as they can be used over again and for many different things. So really, there is no need to through them away as we know they can be used to make other products. This cycle can go on for some time until that one person who throws the product into the bin.
But instead of using these bottles to make other bottles, some artists are using them to make some really intricate and beautiful sculptures.

We are familiar with the current combined offerings such as two-in-one or even three-in-one these days. While we see them as lessening the need to buy things individually, they can also be termed as accidental eco-friendly packaging as well. Why? Consider the plastic containers. They are main contributors to landfills being filled up right?
Now that does not mean that shampoo manufacturers are off the hook. It only helped them avoid a certain ta

There are a lot of people out there who love to drink wine and perhaps with this eco-friendly wine offering by Fairhills, the avid wine collector and drinker may want to get one. What makes them eco-friendly is focused more on their overall packaging.
Fairhills uses a 100% recyclable bag-in-box and is processed under better work conditions for farmers and their families. Add to the fact that it is lighter to carry wherever you may go, Fairhills

We hear so much about natural disasters these, and how so weak we all are when it comes to helping out the survivors. Yes we send aid and maybe some cash too, but this doesn’t always have the desired effect.
What the people on the ground need is decent accommodation that is dry and safe, without this it makes no difference how many tons of food are sent over. This is why this prototype for a Mobile Green Disaster Shelter, it is easy to build,

If you hear eco-friendly bags headlining the news today, chances are you would consider this post as duplicate of another post somewhere else. But this eco-friendly bag of goodies is something else, approached more of a green business for two women from Caversham, Lisa Dawson and Deborah Hutchings, who owns Roostlife.
They have a broad range of bags made from materials such as melinine, jute and polypropylene. These bags are actually imported f

Two things. Plastic and Water. These are two issues that most of us here these days as far as eco-friendly awareness concerns are on topic and to address this, hitting one will certainly make all the difference.
The matter of buying bottled water today is apparent. People need to look out for their health and well-being. As far as containers are concerned, it remains that looking for an alternative packaging for these bottled water goods is a n

Making items out of cardboard is on the one hand sensible because this material is really strong and on the other, the materials are made from mostly recycled paper and card which is great because paper products are made to be recycled!
This table which has been designed by Sruli Recht and sold through Liborius in Iceland, comes in its own case which cuts back on the packaging, and when fully erected the table surface measures 1500 mm x 1200 mm

Coffee sacks are making the rounds these days with many people and co-operatives making them into clothing and of course bags. These ones are made by the Pirate Coffee Company. They take these green coffee bean bags and turn them into really cool tote bags and purses.
Being made out of a sort of sack material, they have been double lined for strength and durability; there is a Velcro strap inside each tote. These bags are hand made and therefore

If you are the type of person to make your own lunch, you may feel tempted to wrap it up in cling film or even a plastic bag; this is not very eco friendly as you will inevitably end up throwing this away in the bin. But what if there was something that worked as good cling film, but was re-usable, wouldn’t that be good?
Well this is the Wrap n Mat, which is a sustainable snack covering but can be cleaned and reused time after time.

It is really great when the selection of bags as an alternative for those plastic and bags which are found at the supermarkets these days. We all know that plastic bags are bad for us; they cause all sorts of problems on land and in the sea.

There is no easy way of saying it, but our waste management is under some serious pressure, and yet it is the consumer who is stuck in the middle that has to dispose of the all that waste which we seem to accumulate every time that we visit the supermarket.
But one enterprising artist has come up with an ingenious way of enabling the consumer a way to not only get rid of that rubbish and waste, but to actually use it to in the home.
