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).

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.
