An Inconvenient Bag
The green giveaway of the moment -- the reusable shopping bag -- is a case study in how tricky it is to make products environmentally friendly.
Finally someone has written about the subject of reusable bags and how tricky it is to make products that are environmentally friendly. Please read http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122238422541876879.html?mod=todays_us_weekend_journal . Everyday I get people asking why my bags are so expensive. Unfortunately at this time there the cost of doing business in our back yard own country and a big cost in using clean material. Ellen Gamerman of the Wall Street Journal summed it up perfectly today when she addresses the hot "green" giveaway: the reusable shopping bags not so environmentally friendly problems. Those millions of bags that are .99 cents at Walmart, Home Depot and the neighborhood grocery store are recycled plastic bags! A plastic bag is a plastic bag! Please replace your plastic bags with cloth bags.
