Eco-Bags Products, Inc.
http://blog.ecobags.com
We created the ECOBAGSĀ® brand almost 20 years ago. We started by creating re-usable bags for people to use as part of a sustainable lifestyle. Back in 1989, we introduced the European string bag to the U.S.A., and later, to our knowledge were the first in the world to create canvas bags from 100% organic cotton. We've always been at the forefront of the "Green Movement" and here the people at Eco-Bags share their experiences, knowledge and enthusiasm for being part of the solution. Enjoy!
