Seriously - the rest of the eco part is great - but here is my take on earth friendly -

1) these bags are stylish and pretty.
2) why not buy one as a gift bag instead of those stupid ones you throw away? Isn't this a better dual purpose?

Help the environment in three ways:
1. They are made from used grain sacks and plastic water bottles (95% recycled woven polypropylene, to be exact);
2. They replace disposable paper or plastic shopping bags;
3. BlueQ, the maker of these unique shoppers, donates 1% of sales to fund programs of The Nature Conservancy worldwide. (via The Afternoon)
