From Monsoon Vermont, a new laptop bag design that I just have to have!! Monsoon Vermont’s gear is made from Recycled Trash that is collected by scavengers, triple washed, then artfully collaged together. You can feel good about this purchase in more ways than one…and keep your laptop safe and warm while you’re at it.

My new house has shower curtains rather than than glass doors that are in my current abode. This shower curtain would show friends, family and neighbors how ecofriendly can be fun and colorful …so often it is assumed to be drab and burlap. Made from recycled detergent packets that were cut, collaged, and carefully sewn together. Great way to give packaging a second life!
