This messenger bag is made from recycled plastic bottles. The fabric is as soft and durable as others, yet it serves to keep plastic out of landfills. Woo hoo! The image on the bag includes a rooster and a penguin - two animals who are suffereing from the degradation of their environment. The bag's features include an organizer division in front panel, a zippered compartment on back side, small zippered pocket inside of the main compartment, and an adjustable shoulder strap with pad. An interesting fact? Approximately 18 bottles make up one yard of this fabric.
