Great bag…I hope I am not too late.
I think I should win this bag b/c I will use it to carry groceries in, I will use it to transport baby items on outings, I will use it when going to the pool, and basically I will use it all the time.
You’re definitely not too late. The deadline is next Friday at noon. So far, your prospects for winning the bag are looking good Gypsy Root. =)
duh, looking at the date would’ve helped :)
I edited my post!
oh! the places we will go and the oh! so many ways we’ll use this bag…
off to the food shops we’ll go a toting and then to the library for more book fun….umm after that it’s to the park with a bag of burlap full of snacks, toys, towels and other necessities.
we don’t have a car and rely exclusively on bikes (and totes) to get us where we need to go so that bag will be carried all over the metro tokyo area and beyond.
Ohhhhhhhh. . . why would I LOVE this bag? Because it combines two of my favorite things: java and my new-found penchant for recycling and re-using! I start each day off early with a cup of fresh-brewed (just one!), then am off and running. I must admit I’m getting a bit tired of those brash, bright GREEN shopping bags and I could use a little style in my step. Thanks for offering this opportunity, Green Mamma, and most of all, thank you for everything I’ve learned from your site! Hugs to Annabelle!
Well… I should win the bag because my life has sucked a lot lately, and winning something my go a bit to make up for it. We just moved cross-country to a new city, where we know no one, have no jobs, no friends, etc. because we had to go somewhere, and it seemed like a decent place. We were living out of a hotel while we looked for an apartment. We found an apartment, and the day we were going to move into it, our car was broken into, and a good chunk of our stuff was stolen, including most of ART SUPPLIES! (Seriously, who steals art supplies?)
Anyhow, that was just the latest in a long line incidents where the world was conspiring against me… and really not even the worst of the bunch. So, winning something would be a little break in the clouds.
And if I had the bag, I could carry my new art supplies home in it, once I have some money to replace them.
New baby, new job, new found daily read (Green Mamma)…..new bag?!!!
Great job showcasing new and creative products…. I had no clue that Coffee is the second largest commodity in the world. All I see in my neck of the woods is corn and beans. We forget how large our world really is-
At our house we’ve successfully eliminated all store plastic bags….and use the “old” milk bags for any messy cleanups when required.
Would love the opportunity to try out the ReJavanate bag….hmm maybe it work well as a new lunch bag?
Pretty please, pick me!
Sincerely,
Meg…..making a difference one bag at a time
Hi Jessica!
Only just now discovered your giveaway for this fabulous sounding company! I’m blogging it. Of course I’d love to win, mostly just so’s I could show off the bag and talk about how awesome upcycling and waste reduction is.
Thanks!
oooo… I would love to win this bag because I have been looking for a great bag to carry all of my doula supplies to births. This would be perfect!
If it is a strong bag, I would use it to carry books to and from the library. My family goes through dozens of books a week, so it would get lots of use. If the bag doesn’t look tough enough for book transportation, it would become a knitting and crocheting bag.
Hey, is there a section just for latest news
