Recycled Green Bags

Everywhere we look, we see plastic, plastic and more plastic! What do we do with so much plastic??? Well, read on!

We do have solutions,very CHIC solutions to it.

People who are dedicated to making a difference, know that people will adopt recycled plastic items ONLY if it has a satisfactory fashion coefficient! With this in mind, these are the following recycled plastic bags that I have come across. Personally, I have seen one ongoing project where one single lady took the initiative of recycling the waste plastic in an area. She undoubtedly does a phenomenon job of making wallets, shopping bags, purses etc. Each and every item she makes is SUPER trendy and very chic! The waste plastic she uses ranges from chocolate wrappers to Lay’s packets to advertisment banners and everything you can possibly imagine!

Here are images of bags made by knitting waste plastic :

 

 

 

 

 

Apart from these there is a company Green Chic Bags which is also commited towards making a difference. They create these bags and market them at low prices. To make it even better they have tie ups with some super markets which PAY the customers who come with these reusable bags! Seeing initiatives like these I am hoping we dont see as much WASTE plastic as we do now-a-days as afterall it could be the waste that could help you set a business! 🙂 Hoping people find the prospects of plastic as a material to wor with exciting and we get our needs of tomorrow  from todays waste!
 

Cool huh???

Everyones going Green!

Every company right from the power production,mobile phone to construction knows that GREEN is the way to be! Going GREEN would definitely be an advantage keeping in mind the long term benefits and  goodwill of the company as need to be proactive with respect to climate change is on priority now!  Here I have a few examples that can help us in moving closer to being greener and one step closer to sustainability.
 

First let us talk about LG Mobile phones which are solar powered. I know it is not anything revolutionary or jaw-dropping but it is small things like these that will make a difference. Many times the problems to the most complex problems are simple just that they need to be implemented on a large scale. With large companies like LG taking the initiative and setting examples it is a ray of hope for all those environmentalists who are going crazy thinking and calculating how far we are from “The tipping point”.  A ray of hope everyone would be clinging on to!
 

Coming back to the solar powered phone. Here’s a picture of it:

After Samsung decided to go green in style with its new Blue Earth solar-powered phone; it’s now turn for LG. LG,promises to use green packaging with the user manual in a soy ink on recycled paper.

Samsung Blue Earth phone not only has the solar panel at the back but is also made from  recycled plastic wastes. The themes also reflect on how fragile our environment is. For more information Click here.
Below is a picture of the phone:

Coming to the power industry. We have always heard the developed countries blaming the developing countries for not adopting green techniques and being the major producers of CO2. Now, China has proved this wrong! While the USA is just planning  on setting up green power production industries, these are being set up in China at the rate of one per month! The only drawback of these power plants is that their efficiency is much lower than those that will be set up in the US. In China the efficiency is about 27-30% while in western countries it is being estimated to be around 40%. Neverthless, it is a move by China that needs to be appreciated!

A lot of research works are being funded for the production of biofuels from algae, using bugs, etc. These are the same projects which governments had rejected for funding as then there were large fossil fuel reserves and investing in this was not of importance. Its good to see perspectives change now! To read more click here.

Coming to the next level of attaining sustainability, our houses! I saw these really interesting designs of a house which would look weird to most of us but actually are very cool. Check these out!
These look absolutely COOL! The best thing is they have so many opening for sunlight that as you can see we can grow the veggies we need and reach an all together different level of sustainability. Here, organic farming (NOT gardening) would be an ideal thing to do!!! Also building houses like these would emit far lesser amount of CO2 when compared with building sky scrapers…

Well… This is all I have for now! Lets hope more companies and people go green!!!
