Every bag counts

Campaigns like “one less plastic bag a day” on Facebook, talk about the daily awareness, we are all getting, on the state of our natural resources.
Daily life without harming the environment results in a difficult task nowadays, using: our cars, hot water, wrappings, cling-film, fashion, nappies, takeaways, all those simple and practical friends from “the disposable culture” that make our life so easy, they are priceless, indeed, we are paying a price for them that is ever so high, none of us would believe it (look at the pacific rubbish island, the weather changes, not to mention allergies and infertility ranges) and it will be like that for many generations if we don’t start taking the problem of our “disposable” life style seriously from now on.
The alternatives are not always, beautiful, quick or easy, but taking some time to choose, we can find a wide range of green products and services, some examples:
– Bamboo Eco Friendly Disposable nappies from Denmark or even better, baby cloth nappies with delivery/cleaning service in the UK.
– Biodegradable and compostable shopping bags and packagings, like Italian bottled water Sant’Anna with its Biobottle, made in Ingeo™ biopolymer. Or a personal reusable “Not a Paper Cup” by Chartreuse
– Another choice are the beautiful reusable designed shopping bags, becoming more common every day, two examples I’ve just seen at Macef are: • Stelton’s from Denmark, the case works as a handle (to carry a heavy 10kg load), washable at 30° “without soap”.
Envirosax® “Chic, inexpensive and compact bags”, the different ranges from the Organic Series (“manufactured from natural materials including viscose from bamboo, linen and a fine grade hemp, as well as recently introduced organic cotton”) to the kids or graphic series; all designed thinking about the environment, and to make us happy when going greener.
