A Green As Can Be Delightfully Pretty Gift Set

September 13th, 2008

Stars like Vanessa Manillo, Cameron Diaz, Felicity Huffman, Kyra Sedgewick and Eva Longoria are gaga over their environmentally friendly gifts from Delight.com.  Hey, if Hollywood can pare it down and go green, don’t you think you can take a step in the right direction too?

Envirosax Reusable Grocery tote bag from delight.comDid you know that we use an average of 500 plastic bags every year? Most bags taken from the grocery store are created for exactly one use, and then they’re tossed in the trash to fill up land dumps. All that work for one use. Think of all the machines, labor, and materials involved just to give us the opportunity to throw a couple items in a bag and carry them in from the garage. Is it really necessary?

Using eco-friendly reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags is a small, and simple lifestyle change. You wouldn’t forget your purse or wallet before going to the grocery store, so just remember not to forget your re-usable shopping bags. So in this set we’ve included two kinds of reusable bags: Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags and Ecobags Reusable Produce Bags.

Thankfully, these days, everyone seems to be coming around to the recognition that something needs to be done to protect and save the only planet on which we can live.  From Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, to Leonardo DiCaprio’s The 11th Hour, interest finally seems to have piqued in both mainstream media and at a grassroots level.

A large part of this conversation that has begun to occur is how much is enough?  Do we think big?  Do we think small?  Sometimes it is hard to grasp these problems that seem so huge and believe that anything you can do could possibly make a difference.  Yet, if we don’t change the small things – the products and behaviors of everyday – how can we ever imagine to do the big things?

Opting to use these organic cotton product bags instead of plastic produce bags at the store is a simple, affordable solution.

Well, at least that is what we here a Delight would like to see. Did you also know each day in the US more than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away! Drinking water is good for you, but drinking it from disposable containers is NOT good for the Earth!
kleen kanteen envirosax set from Delight.com
The supper yummy KLEAN KANTEEN stainless steel water bottle included in the set allows you to drink all the water you might ever want to drink, but without any of the waste you’d create by buying disposable bottles from the grocery store. The design is fab for guys and gals…plus the extra large size means you can hydrate that much more!

Now THAT’s a way to get green!

    I’m here from WeCovet. I really would like to get this for my mom. She does a lot of walking and she just so happens to buy a ton of stuff and the plastic bags just can’t handle the weight of her goodies!! thanks

    I would love to win this in the Heavy Petal contest for a friend! It is perfectly because it comes with more than one item so I could spread the love and give gifts to more than one friend. Also the bag is super cute and I can see friends using it more than some of the other reusable bags!
