I swear I didn’t know this article was coming when I wrote about the tote bags yesterday.  Check it out, Spreadshirt is featured as one of 4 alternatives for reusable shopping bags in the lifestyle section of today’s USA Today.  Click here to read the whole article online.

Here is a color picture of the tote from the USA Today website.  I love the green on the black tote bag.  There is still time to save on your own custom tote - our Earth Day sale runs through midnight tonight.  Click here for the coupon code and all the details.

The race is on to reduce plastic bag use across the US. Spreadshirt offers custom totes - so you can express your self on your reusable shopping bags. The reusable bags from some of the stories are very pretty but I like to bring my own so that they don’t get confused with other people’s totes and it is a great way to promote my blog. Our totes and all of the other products in the eco-friendly category are 15% off through April 22, 2008 - use coupon code EARTHDAY4- click here for all the details.

I saw this little guy at a great shop here in Pittsburgh, Fresh Heirlooms, that only sells items made from recycled items.

Since we are talking earth day (have you checked out the Earth Day promotion yet?) - this gives me the perfect excuse to share some great green blogs. I would love to hear what green blogs you like - please share.

Siel is a blogger who writes both Green LA Girl and Emerald City. Green LA Girl is about Los Angeles and includes lots of green ideas, including a green guide to LA. Emerald City is her enviro blog at the LA Times.

Check out her post on Freecyling on Green LA Girl - which I think does a good job of describing what Freecycling is and discusses the importance of reuse. She even gives away cool green stuff twice a week - just leave a comment and you could win - check out the blog category freebies. I am so loving this Plastic Bag Rehab tote!

From Emerald City - there is a post about some green contests that is worth a look - check out the “Whats the Big Idea?” Contest from the Sundance channel - you could win $10,000 to turn your idea into reality. She also provides a link to a review of some organic beers that I enjoyed reading. I just recently tried the Peak Organic Pale Ale and I must say it is mighty wonderful beer.
