The New York Times published an article today about the much maligned but yet to disappear plastic bag. Seems it can be as hard to get rid of in deed as in principle, “Many Plans to Curtail Use of Plastic Bags, but Not Much Action.”

Then right on cue (pun intended), here comes Blue Q, like one of those new superpowers I blogged about the other day, to answer the eternal question:

Blue Q’s new line of eco friendly bags are made from 95% recycled post-consumer material (recycled plastic water bottles), the highest percentage of any woven polypropylene bag on the market.

Lately, my coin purse, which is a Coach wristlet, has just been irritating me…..continuing to get lost in my giant messenger bag mix of things, also indicative of the times don’t you think (losing money)? Imagine my surprise when I laid eyes on another of Blue Q’s eco friendly pouches, the coin purse:

Available for purchase at BlueQ’s website, the reuseable shopping bag (top) sells for just $12.00 and This Economy Sucks coin purse is only $4.00. Even their prices nail it.

To further encourage consumers to make environmentally conscious choices, a portion of the proceeds of this collection benefit The Nature Conservancy, the world’s leading conservation organization working to protect ecologically important lands and waters across the globe.
