Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments and email. GreatGreenGoods will resume posting about this, that, and the other thing, tomorrow. We had a lot of fun during BAG WEEK, and we’ll definitely do it again!! .. but want to mention the greenest bag you can use is the one you already have. Even though we are a shopping blog, we need to remember that living a Green Life is really about buying stuff you love, and using it until you wear it out.
With that said, the second best option is to use recycled materials. Thanks to Nicola from Acorn Studios who pointed out a cool tutorial to make a bag out of recycled seat belts.
Check out this link to instructions to make your own bag out of recycled album covers.
And the bag pictured above has detailedinstructions to “knit” a carryall from your recycled plastic bags.

We all know and love Ecoist. But when you buy one of their bags, they plant a tree. I think that is so sweet!! For those greenies that have been living under a rock, these beautiful bags are made from recycled candy wrapers.

Love this pink…and they have them in *every* color. If this is your style, keep the soda bottles out of the landfill and on your back holding your crap. 98% recycled materials. 100% made in the USA.

The artist, Meg Musick-Makely, started off making bracelets from recycled records….left her with a bunch of old empty album covers laying around which inspired this bag. The bag is made so that you can exchange and swap the albums along with your mood or whim. Love it.

I love the pattern of the tire tread on this bag. The strap, made out of an inner tube, brings it all together . The bag has two exterior pockets for easy access. If you have time, check out their web site for lots of unique eco-friendly bags, watches, wallets, belts and jewelry.

Not exactly recycled but comes from dead stock never-used car and truck interior textiles. Each bag is tagged with the year and make of the fabric, so you know exactly what car your bag comes from. The one pictured is a 1983 Camaro. Check out the website for more cool shapes and vintage fabrics.
