Blue Avocado: the New Green

p1000901

We at SuperForest know that everyone comes to the sustainable table at their own engagement level. And while you may not be ready to commit to a zero-impact life, we’d like to think that by the end of this decade (9 months away), everyone could and should at least be doing their small part for the planet. Like swapping regular light-bulbs for LEDS, recycling, or eliminating plastic bags.

That last one’s the mission of Blue Avocado, a lovely Mom-n-Mom based company on a crusade to crush plastic consumption. Their doing it with a system of practical, fashionable, and re-usable bags… and the help of Schlumpy:

So far Blue Avocado has received over 52,000 pledges.  You can pledge to “bag” plastic here. Blue Avocado is making donations to kiva.org for the first 30,000 views.

And buy their bags! Do it by March 20th, and they’re giving away a free gro tote when you purchase a kit.  It’s a good cause and they’re great bags.  I know because that’s me in the above pic, and I use mine all the time.  The coolest part — that little bag opens to a big tote that holds multiple other unfoldable bags inside.  Clever!

In this small way, we can all make a difference.  So buy blue and go green!
