Since we are going green recycled bags are so in. I've seen from some tv shows, how they create bags out of foil packs, tarp, and now from plastic. I think it looks cool, it's so colorful and sturdy. There are also wallets and some other cute stuffs. I just don't know where you can really get a hold of them. How about you? Will you buy a recycled bag and used them too?

I reuse the plastic ones from the stores as well as I do own several reusable bags as well. There is always someone comming up with a nicer more adaquate version for groceries ect. I have yet to find the ones that stand up so you can fill them.

Yes, I do not see why, they make really nice ones now, and it is good for the environment, which I strongly support. I have one or two that I use for grocery shopping already, but would definitely consider buying more if I saw a bag (or ten!) that I liked...

Yeah, we like bags. One of the mylotters said she saw a bag made of candy wrappers and duct tape. I want those too. Lol. Have a nice day!

If it's not really expensive and serves a purpose why not. I would buy for myself or as a gift. And it helps the environment as well.

yes, i know them. i will buy some of them if i need them but my mom makes me bags so i don't buy bags often. i think it is good cause they help our mother earth and it is finding new things out of used things are some just usually throw away.

Yes, why not. In fact i am carrying a bag made from my nephew's jeans. He is slim so the bag is rather small. Used a skirt to line it and make a shoulder strap. Very useful.

The idea of recycling has been around for a very, very long time. I remember my Grandmother simply reusing bags, perhaps born out of living through the war years? Art, World Cup uniforms, RDasia carried a good article on recycled products ... I guess my point is that anyone has had ample time and opportunity to do their part and big business is simply exploring ways to monetize what should be a part of their corporate culture to begin with ;) Eric

I think recycling product to be useful again is very good for the environment. Those people behind the ideas of making bags and wallets are really smart. Thanks for sharing. :)
