These green bags can be fold into a very cute strawberry or even an animal. Our kids love the strawberry bags a lot since we put some candies on the eco bags and fold them. At the same time, we are teaching our kids on how to avoid using any plastic bags at all time when we have these little cute green supply strawberry bags.

p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?

Re-usable hankies are the best. No longer will you have a ball of mash(used tissue – come on, you all know you use them more than once when you have nothing else) in your pocket in the winter. Your nose will thank you and it will no longer be red and irritated after a day of blowing if you get a cold. Plus, the trees of the world will love you for it.

The more you blow, the more you have to wash them. I grew up in an immigrant neighborhood and the old folks just honked it into the gutter, usually through the nose. How’s that for green?

I think it is great that you are using cloth hankies! I’ve been using them for almost a year…I swear they are better than the standard paper tissues (my nose doesn’t get as red and sore since the switch.) People used to stare at me on the train..but some people commmented on how cute my hankies are….I made them myself out of a “Liberty” type print.

Finally commenting after checking out your blog a few times….a kindred green-spirit! Great site. Would love to chat reusables sometime……check out what the Ditty Bops are doing on the plastic bag front: http://byotalk.blogspot.com/

I also admire your dedication w/ your cloth “hankettes” undertaking….I’m looking at my little kleenex collection with a twinge of guilt as I recover from a nasty little cold. I’ll give this one a try!

That sounds gross… I like “hankettes” better! I used mine this morning for the first time when I was walking to a press conference — it’s -18C here — and after finally stepping inside a warm room I desperately needed it. I was quite happy with it, though (obviously, ’cause it was the first time and didn’t need washing yet or anything). It was nice and soft and, coupled with the fact that I refused the food and coffee being served on styrofoam, made me feel all the more green.

This is a luxury I have never been able to kick. I find solace in being able to put my grotty Kleenex in the green bin only. I am in awe.
