Eco Friendly Shopping Bags

You may have heard that the City of San Francisco has banned the use of plastic shopping bags. To some this may sound like a really crazy idea, but this kind of stuff is what San Francisco is all about. I predict it won't take long before plastic shopping bags become a thing of the past. This shopping bag issue was one of the stories on Good Morning America today.

Some of you already know that I make custom draw string pants from eco-friendly materials. One of my goals is to stop the exploitation of Third World labor in the clothing industry. Women and girls all over the world are paid literally pennies per hour to produce clothing for the "First World" This is a subtle form of evil and I personally don't like it.

I am in the process of designing a 100% cotton canvas shopping bag for the Zaadz community. Stay tuned for more information. I'll have a finished bag on my page shortly. I strongly support this idea of reusable shopping bags. It's not much of a choice when I go to my favorite grocery store where they have organic foods and natural teas and suppliments and bulk nuts and seeds and when I get to the register, my choice is paper or plastic. Gee...paper = dead trees or plastic = 100+ years to decompose in a land fill.

That's not much of a choice.
