Monday Give Away: UrthBag!
Monica Ralli, founder of UrthBags, has sent us this beautiful “Angelina” recycled magazine handbag for our Monday give away! UrthBags are the Eco-Chic handbags made with the health of the planet in mind. I have one of these little beauties sitting on the kitchen table, and believe me, it is fantastic.
Monica has always tried to live a sustainable life by recycling everything possible, shopping locally at farmers markets, avoiding toxic chemicals by choosing organic, etc. Looking in her closet one evening filled with handbags, purses, totes, gym bags, etc., She thought to herself, why couldn’t these same, stylish designs be made from salvaged, recycled & discarded materials? After much researching, sourcing materials, locating and organizing women’s groups, she created UrthBags Eco-Chic Handbags.
Monica also follows a predominantly raw diet and has for over 20 years. She strongly advocate consuming sustainable, fresh food diet that is as close to its natural state as possible. Sisterhood!
This beautiful bag’s retail value is 72.00. Thank you Monica!

I make sure everything that I am not using is unplugged. My family has been using green cleaning products, which happen to smell alot better than other products:] Using reusable water bottle. Reusing clothes to make purses and other fun things.Since eating raw, I have been less inclined to waste food.

I have to say my favorite autumn “green” ritual is to bring our bags of raked leaves to deposit in a program called Leaf Drop. The leaves are then composted and used in our city parks.

My favorite way to be more green is to use glass mason jars and reuse bottles whenever possible. No more plastic for me…
