I Am Not Plastic, Earth-friendly Shopping Bags
Cathy Babao, who writes at Midlife Mysteries, has launched a venture, called Edgy Ecology, Inc., aimed at persuading Filipinos to do their part to save the environment. The company’s first project are the Not Plastic reusable bags.
The bags as you can see from the photo is a 12″ x 16″ x 5″ cotton muslin carryall with an inside pocket and the catchy statement, “I Am Not Plastic” printed on one side, and Not Plastic logo on the other. Our initial step is to get Filipino shoppers into the habit of refusing plastic bags when they shop. Our next step is to create even more bags which will have more of a statement and function beyond what can be seen. The bags are carefully crafted by women from marginalized communities. Thus, by purchasing the bag, you do your part in helping save the planet and at the same time, help empower women from urban poor communities.
The project was launched at the Powerplant Mall in Manila.
Please support this project and help save the Philippine (and global) environment. Plastic bags are so unsightly anyway, and these reusable totes are so chic!

Rustan’s sells its own bag, so do several trendy bookstores like The Bound Bookshop. In fact, other eco-conscious stores started selling reusable bags, such as this “I am Not Plastic” muslim shopping carry-all. [...]
It’s good news. The Mayors’ Responsible Spouses and Ladies of Pampanga (MRS LP) is now initiating Balik Bayong Project in every household in the municipalities of their husband-mayors. They are now headed by Lani Pelayo, wife of Candaba Mayor Jerry Pelayo
