Green Ostrich sent me a LunchSkins Reusable Sandwich Bag in Light Blue Flower to test out.
The Green Ostrich Story:
A woman-owned business founded in 2009 based just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Green Ostrich™ started with the following observation: the energy-intensive retail stores that we frequent do not offer many Earth-friendly, green products. That, and we were spending a lot of time and energy driving in our car to and from these stores.
So, we decided to create an online store dedicated to Earth-friendly, green gifts and green toys to spark a consumer movement that requires environmentally-sound solutions for our lives. We help people make changes, not sacrifices. We help them live well and refresh the Earth.
The power to make change rests with the individual consumer. They have to lead the way; they always do. When consumers decide to make the Earth a priority, the priorities of businesses and governments will shift.
To save the Earth, we have to refresh the resources we borrow. Using Earth-friendly products in our daily lives helps. Learn to recognize them. Demand them. Buy them . . . if not from us, from someone else. Doing that consistently will move markets and governments, and the Earth will rebound from its concerning negative trends.
My Two Cents:
I gave it to my daughter who happens to love the color blue also. Usually I'll buy sandwich bags for her lunches, but I have been able to cut my bag usage in half. This helps save me a lot of money. Really, I need to purchase a couple for her sides of fruit and chips. The bags are light weight and well-made for many uses. The bag has a Velcro closure that makes it easy to open and close. She always takes a peanut butter sandwich in her lunch, which never smells like peanut butter once I hand wash it in the sink with soap and water. Yes, she eats peanut butter everyday at school. She's peanut butter crazy. The bags are eco-friendly so they're helpful for the environment. I'm happy that I can help the environment and save money too.

I love the Preserve Recycled Plastic Multi-Colored Mixing Bowls!
ReplyDeleteerinnicole14@gmail.com
Some things we do to help the earth is recycle as much as we can, and reuse whatever we can! I've recently gotten into reusable bags, and I'm slowly building up a collection so I can get rid of plastic all together!
