Introducing the New FEED 100 Bag


lauren-bush.jpgI love reusable tote bags.  Whether I get them from Trader Joes, Whole Foods or even Shop Rite, they are ridiculously inexpensive, and the benefits to using them in terms of helping the environment make it a no-brainer for me.  Back in January, Whole Foods gave plastic bags the old heave-ho, offering customers reasonably priced reusable shopping bags and totes instead.  Considering that the New York City Whole Foods locations alone gave out an estimated 900,000 plastic bags last year, this is a huge impactful change.

Now Whole Foods is back in the news, as this week they are unveiling the newest FEED bag designed by Presidential niece and former model Lauren Bush.  Similar to its $59.95 counterpart, this one is $29.99 and is made from 100% organic cotton and sustainable burlap.  For every FEED bag purchased, you are providing school meals to 100 children in Rwanda.  Go to www.wholefoods.com to find the nearest retail location.  Go get ‘em!

You know people should really do their homework because there is a student who found a way to decompose plastic bags in as little as 3 months. I believe there is a blog about it as well. Also I love helping the enviroment and all but I just get scared leaving it up to some big company to use the proceeds for charity and such.

Also I just love the look of the bag though. I surely looks enviromentally safe. I saw this other bag that says ‘i am not a plastic bag’ on it and it has essentially the same goal but it really looks plastic and they say it is plastic. So still confused on that but if I were to get any safe-bag it would be this one.

I purchased the Feed 100 Bag from whole Foods, but nowhere can I find the information about the charity required for a tax write-off. What is the “address” of Feed 100???
