Reusable Recycled Bags

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:28:13 +0000

I absolutely loved these environmentally friendly reusable recycled bags made out of recycled billboard! It's a super eco-friendly bag that's going to last you a long time. Billboard is already a very strong material because it has to withstand all kinds of weather, from Summer all the way to Winter and I'm sure that these billboard bags will also last a lifetime. The company also makes recycled tote bags, and even recycled wine bags, and whomever you give it to, will keep on giving it and there's no way it will break it! So the next time you get any kind of bag, be it a farmers' market bag, wine bag, tote bag, beach bag or just a super fashionable and unique, one of a kind bag, don't look any further!

Boards 2 Bags makes them and I hope you enjoy them while helping our environment!

Highlights:
- Reusable
- Unique
- Durable
- Water proof
- Environmentally friendly

Recycled Art Projects: Creative Waste of California

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:43:39 +0000

This recycled art projects website is just great: Creative Waste of California, also known as CWOCA, has been uniting artists with waste in order to create some really neat, upcycled art. Everything you see is made from recycled materials that end up as green art, or recycled art, or recycled trash art as some might call it

CWOCA unites trash into art and the end result is something you might have never imagined! It can be anything from green modern art to vintage looking art to weird art. But that's what art is all about, right? Their recycled cardboard iphone cover is one of my favorites. Another one is the recycled water bottle made from bottles that the artist picked up from the beach and made a tube (I like to think that's more like a mattress that floats) that you can use for wave riding!

Here are the topics they currently cover: architecture, cardboard art, composting, energy, environment, e-waste, health, lighting, metal, paint, paper, photography, plastic, textile, transportation, water and wood art. I even saw a tie made out of tape (that's right, audiotape), I really hope I can review that tie, it was very, very cool.

In their own words:
CWOCA is a collaboration of like-minded people using unwanted materials as the new building blocks for art, products and succesful living.

We are instigators of cycling and self-propelled activities (surf, skate, snow etc…) which produce a healthy mind.

Movement, Fun and Creativity are the magical-three.

You can never go wrong with green cleaning services, it's not only much safer for your home, business, office, apartment and even commercial buildings, but it's also much safer for our planet. There are several green cleaning companies popping up and there's no reason that you couldn't find one near you (well if you don't then there's your big business opportunity!).

If you're in the Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco or just East Bay area in general, make sure to support Winfield Workers because he's not only using biodegradable products that are better for our environment and our health, he's also helping out his community by hiring second offenders youth and teens and sending them to training such as the Mandela Project where they have green certification training programs.

What an amazing company, way to go above and beyond! Go green with your cleaning services!
