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.

Plastic Bag Fashions

Whole Foods will stop giving out plastic bags on April 22, 2008. To celebrate the Whole Foods in Raleigh will hold a fashion show of clothing made out of plastic bags. More details here.

What came first the Chicken or the Bag

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

Earth Day is near and we want to help you celebrate mother earth. In the past year we have added a number of items to our eco-friendly category. From April 1 to April 22 use the coupon code, EARTHDAY4 (In Canada - CADEARTHDAY4) to save 15% on an item from the eco-friendly category (minimum purchase $20, discount does not apply to shipping).

I just wanted to follow up and make sure it is clear that we aren’t endorsing this project. I think it will be an interesting project to follow and I am interested to hear what other people think of this idea of crowd-sourcing a t-shirt company.

This is a really interesting idea. nvohk is a t-shirt company where the decisions will be made by all of the people that are members - membership costs $50 a year. Members receive %35 of the profits to buy merchandise with and a discount on products. 10% of the profits will go to eco-charities.
