Recycled Tote Bag at Global Exchange

We’ve covered numerous tote bags here on TreeHugger, but there are so many cool styles out there we always find the need to post info about new ones that we spot. This one, found at Global Exchange (who we’ve mentioned before) is handcrafted in Cambodia by disabled and disadvantaged women. It’s made from recycled feed bags (think rice or beans here) which make it long lasting and safe for anything that you may want to carry in it such as groceries. Global Exchange is a fair trade business committed to providing fair wages and good employment opportunities to economically disadvantaged artisans. Thanks for the tip, Heidi B.!
