Hemp bags tend to be stronger and more durable than cotton bags, and some canvas bags.
At OkoBox, they feature a reusable hemp grocery bag which apart from being sturdy is priced very reasonably at $8. The design it not bad either. The hemp grocer is perfect for trips to the local market or quick runs to the dry cleaner. Reader Question Which is your fave reusable bag fiber? Is it canvas, hemp, bamboo, jute, or other? Tell us below in the comments section. My personal fave fiber for re-usable bags is Jute. It seems to be the strongest. What do you think? Brought to you by: Keetsa Mattress Store - Keetsa!

[Magnets]Found a small but cute online button shop which features a slew of cool peace sign magnets. The shop is run by a sister team based in Utah.
At Popular By Demand various peace signs and symbols can be had in the form of vehicle magnets. The peace magnets cost around $5 each, with discounts for multiple orders. I like their selection of magnet Peace designs, they have clouds, flowers, America, rasta, hearts, and more. A portion of the proceeds from each button is allocated to peace oriented charities as noted on the About Us page on their site.

This time around, chopsticks made from bamboo will be exported no less by Ethiopia to help grow the awareness and the use of these ancient chopsticks which seem basic but need the usual hand in getting used to them to use. This along with other bamboo potential products like doors and floor tiles are among the items that Ethiopia aims to export. With a growing demand in the market for alternative resources, bamboo is not only needed but should be conceptualized to suit the needs of the public market worldwide.

But it seems that they may have been right all along, because recently it has been announced that wine in a box creates much less carbon dioxide emissions than a the wine that comes in a bottle.  3 Apparently, according to Dr Vino, the standard glass bottle if transported from California to New York will produce around 5.2 pounds of emissions, but when the wine is in a box, the emissions are halved.

You enter in your information and the self service kiosk will generate partners contracted with Walmart to sell and install solar panels in your home. Some argue it is not feasible for the average American to add solar panels to their homes, as the price of install is still too high. When the prices come down abit more, widespread adaptation will be seen. Will this increase use of solar energy in American homes? I’m sure it will some, but i concur with those who argue the price is still not within the reach of many. Kiosk or no kiosk. It will create awareness and buzz though.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wearing (And Promoting) FUR Ms. Paltrow who is in the uber popular Summer flick Iron Man, is a vegetarian/vegan who cares about what she puts in her mouth. But apparently doesn’t give a hoot when it comes to fashion that is cruel on animals. Gwyneth Paltrow is sporting fur in a recent ad campaign for an Italian company called Tod’s. She has caused quite a stir with this move, and i for one don’t get it. It’s not just about the fact that she is wearing FUR, she is promoting FUR. To me the move is totally un-progressive and is like taking 20 steps back. In a time where celebs are all shooting from the rooftops look at me, “I’m Green”. Gwyneth Paltrow is shouting, look at me, “I Don’t Care”. Brought to you by: Keetsa Mattress Store - Keetsa!

Uses of Soda Water Soda water is apparently something familiar to us as a social drinking substance or something that can hit the spot in times of thirst. But you would be surprised at its other uses, mostly by being a solution towards cleaning certain items such as rugs, mugs or your usual room carpet. We have seen a lot of common items in the world in the past and if you are looking for another item outside the known items for cleaning healthily like vinegar, try to use soda water this time around.

Through the months, we have brought to you various bike concepts each having its own advantage as far as eco-friendly and healthy travel is concerned. While the Panasonic Vivi RX-10S bike has almost the same features, its key feature is the dynamo on the front wheel which is connected to a rechargeable battery by the rear wheel. So if you are going downhill, you can recharge the batteries through a freewheeling downhill motion which may eventually power the bike later on if you get tired pedaling.
