I am back from my wonderful vacation in Hawaii! The one thing I brought back with me is the renewed appreciation of nature and our environment. Well, Jack Johnson helped me get there. I went to the Kokua Festival, a charity concert put together by Jack Johnson to benefit his Kokua Foundation that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaii. They teach the 3 Rs, like his song: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
This bag has slightly different Rs--Reduce, Recycle, Renew, but the message is the same (renew sounds a bit more ambitious than reuse, but we do need to be more determined about saving our planet). Plus, this bag is super cute and chic! I love the cotton canvas with the contrasting charcoal, big-rope handle. This bag is big enough to use as a beach bag, which is totally appropriate, as I have just experienced. Beaches are only enjoyable and nice, if they are not polluted and filled with trash. Keep in mind: it's not just plastic bags at the market. When you go to your favorite boutique, why not bring along a bag like this or a shopping bag you already have from previous shopping excursions? I have a drawer full of bags that I reuse again and again (of course it's super easy to keep and reuse the really nice ones!) Beau Soleil shopping bag at Coco's Shoppe for $44.
