The Melting Pot...

Do a search on Google and you can find thousands and millions of articles on the net, depicting the seriousness and the dire effects of Global Warming... Just like the basic food chain cycle that we learnt when we were back in Primary school, one has to realize that our actions, our way of life in every aspect, has a part to place in Global Warming...

From chemical wastes, to deforestation, excessive hunting, urbanization, to all kinda of pollution - they are hurting Mother Earth and it's inhabitants. Not just Humans...


From the recent incidents of freak climate changes that we have been hearing about for the last couple of years, and the peak temperatures that we are getting in Singapore (I don't remember Singapore being as warm as this when I was younger), only goes to emphasize the seriousness of this issue.

I was mighty pleased yesterday when I was out in town. Surprisingly, 2 out of 10 ladies that I noticed shopping, had their handbags AND a recyclable bag of sort... It was encouraging and I can't help but think that there are many out there who is putting in effort to play their part, no matter how small, to incorporate means of recycling in their lives.

It makes me determined to do the same... ... ...

And as a further motivation, I decided to purchase a nice recyclable bag that I would LOVE to use all the time... Hahhahaahahah! (Makes me wonder if this is a lame excuse for retail therapy... but HEY! Global warming is for real...!) They are fun and convenient as most of them comes 'squeezed' in a small package that is handy for most women handbags.

I did some research on the net and I found many varieties that I would simply love to get! =) Here goes the list:

1. Baggu - They look so handy and have so many different colors and some variation of sizes that I'm so tempted to buy every color available!

Price range starts from USD $8.00

2. Reisenthel - Looks quite handy as they can be slung over the shoulder with their strap, which I've always felt will be easier to manage, than 2 straps. But this may limit the size of the objects that you might want to place in the bag.

Price range starts from USD $8.99

3. Envirosax - I love their trendy colors and designs of many variations. Plus point, I've personally seen these being sold at Metro. Only problem is that I find them a tad too flimsy. But they sure are highly portable.

Price range starts from USD $8.50

4. ChicoBag - They have pretty handy styles that range from shoulder hung to hand held types.

Price range starts from USD $8.00

5. Flip and Tumble - Last but not least, I fell in love with the concept of these bags! Check it out....

Price range starts from USD $9 (depending on quantity)

I've not seen these being sold in Singapore and so I've placed order for these over the net! Looking forward to their arrival! =)
