CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Steward Bags 100% certified organic cotton Reusable Bags Review & Giveaway!!
Thursday, September 6th, 2012
For some, it can be hard to imagine a world without plastic – especially plastic bags.
The cons of using plastic bags are so overwhelming I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pollution problem, their lightweight design allows them to blow away easily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so people don’t think about how they dispose of them. They are made from petroleum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biodegrade, instead they breakdown and are mistaken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine animals which is fatal. They are found everywhere and many animals become fatally entangled.
They are not biodegradable, so they will persist pretty much forever, wherever they end up. Landfills if we are lucky, but because of their widespread use and their ability to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clogging the stomachs of a variety of animals, most famously sea turtles looking for jellyfish.
The recycling of plastic bags, while preferable to other disposal methods, is not cost-effective. Plastic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the billions that have been produced since then have caused immeasurable damage to the environment and to wildlife.
Thank Heavens for Steward Bags 100% certified organic cotton Reusable Bags!!
I was sent some Steward Bags 100% certified organic cotton Reusable Bags to review, and they are phenomenal! The benefits of using these 100% certified organic cotton Reusable Bags are fantastic! They are a re-usable alternative to plastic, each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags!!
Their Mission Statement:
“To provide grocery shoppers with a high quality, eco-friendly alternative to plastic produce bags as well as encourage and challenge others to become active participants in stewardship initiatives for our planet.”
Company History:
“Steward Bags was born out of our family’s love for the outdoors and our passion for stewardship of the Earth. We are committed to learning new ways to reduce our ecological foot print. We waited for others to create an eco-friendly alternative to the plastic produce bags and grew impatient. In the meantime we debated. One of us insisted on tying a knot in the top of the bag so the produce didn’t roll out. The other, however, argued that knotting the top of the bag makes it difficult to re-open and impossible to reuse. Either way these bags ended up piling up in our garbage and utimately in the local landfill. Not only have we developed this organic produce bag as an Earth friendly alternative to plastic produce bags, now we have one less thing to argue about. We feel that the development of our product is a natural progression from reusable grocery bags.”
I give Steward Bags 100% certified organic cotton Reusable Bags a huge thumbs up, and absolutely recommend that everyone purchase these phenomenal reusable produce bags!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ EcoMom LOVE Reusable Bags Chill Set Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Saturday, June 11th, 2011
Nothing will motivate you more than to start living a greener life quite like parenthood. Suddenly the planet is no longer yours, it belongs to the little people, the ones who need to swim and climb trees and run through the grass just like you did.
If it’s not good enough for you or your baby, then it’s not good enough for the environment either. EcoMom, an Eco-Friendly Baby Products company, was founded to address the connection between the health of our environment and the health of our children. EcoMom is committed to making eco-conscious living easy, affordable, and rewarding.
EcoMom has an extensive selection of eco-conscious products and there is certainly something for everyone, even if you just want to try something new, like a counter top compost pail for your kitchen. EcoMom offers a variety of eco-friendly baby products including organic baby and toddler food, organic cotton clothing, wood toys, green cleaning products, all natural bath and body products for mom and baby, and so much more!!
Founded in August of 2008, EcoMom was created by moms, professionals, and those who fall into both categories. The goal was to create a resource where moms could shop for healthy, eco-friendly products that would promote wellbeing in their children. Based out of Los Angeles, California, EcoMom was founded by Balaji Gopinath and Jody Sherman. Today, the EcoMom team has expanded to include many others along with a growing community and large database of green products for the family.
Parents that prefer to purchase environmentally friendly, health conscious products can appreciate EcoMom. The site is a large collection of items that fall into these categories, including edible and non-edible merchandise. Many other online retailers offer some of the same products; however EcoMom brings them all together into one convenient shopping location.
EcoMom sent me a fabulous LOVE Reusable Bags Chill Set in Cosmic Stripes pattern and I totally love it!! I was wishing I had this wonderful insulated set with me while in Jamaica a few weeks ago, it sure would have come in handy!! They have a matching set of 3 reusable shopping totes that tuck neatly into a 4th insulated cooler bag. The LOVE Reusable Bags Chill Set is great because you not only have your reusable totes but also a cooler for meats, and frozen foods plus hot foods too, while you get all your errands run without spoilage of food. The totes are machine washable and sturdy and hold up to 60lbs. These totes stand alone for easy loading and unloading and are equipped with 3 mesh pockets for storage and a shoulder strap for comfort!!
Thanks to the very kind and generous folks over at EcoMom, 1 very lucky CoolCanucks reader has the chance to win a $25.00 e-certificate to spend however they want at the EcoMom website!! SWEET!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ ChicoBag Reusable Bags Review & Giveaway!CLOSED
Saturday, June 4th, 2011
For some, it can be hard to imagine a world without plastic – especially plastic bags.
The cons of using plastic bags are so overwhelming I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pollution problem, their lightweight design allows them to blow away easily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so people don’t think about how they dispose of them. They are made from petroleum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biodegrade, instead they breakdown and are mistaken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine animals which is fatal. They are found everywhere and many animals become fatally entangled.
They are not biodegradable, so they will persist pretty much forever, wherever they end up. Landfills if we are lucky, but because of their widespread use and their ability to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clogging the stomachs of a variety of animals, most famously sea turtles looking for jellyfish.
The recycling of plastic bags, while preferable to other disposal methods, is not cost-effective. Plastic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the billions that have been produced since then have caused immeasurable damage to the environment and to wildlife.
Thanks to ChicoBag Reusable Bags, there is no more need for this DREADFUL plastic!!
In 2004, ChicoBag President Andy Keller went to his local landfill after doing some backyard landscaping, and was shocked by the number of plastic bags he saw. On the way home, he noticed plastic bags caught in trees, stuck in fences, blowing along on the ground. He vowed that day to stop using plastic bags, and using a second hand sewing machine, began working on what would become the first ChicoBag.
All of ChicoBag Reusable Bags are neatly categorized and also come in an extensive array of fashionable designs and colours making shopping a complete snap! Not only are these bags eco-friendly, they are eco-chic to boot!!
ChicoBags are made from recycled materials including pop bottles into bags that are both functional and stylish!
I was sent the CHICOBAG MESSENGER10 rePETe with a great waist strap to review, and one lucky CoolCanucks reader will win one of these sweet bags as well, courtesy of the kind and generous folks over at ChicoBag!! SWEET!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Hot Sacks Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Monday, April 18th, 2011
Here’s a stylish way to carry your produce and use fewer plastic bags while you’re at it. These Hot Sacks reusable mesh bags from have many advantages over the cloth bags.
I really love that these bags are completely transparent, which is a major complaint about many cloth produce bags. This makes it easier for the check-out person to see what you’re buying and read PLU codes, and the same is true for us when we get back home.
Cleaning is also less of an issue with these mesh bags than with cloth bags. It looks like a simple rinse under warm water would get rid of any stickiness or grit from produce.
I also like that these bags are fairly understated. They’re simple and aren’t emblazoned with any environmental slogans or images. They look similar enough to other kinds of packaging that they won’t raise eyebrows at the store.
Use them for:
•various fruits like apples, lemons, avocados, grapes, etc
•various vegetables including potatoes, onions, peppers, etc
•Bulk items such as wrapped candies or nuts in shell
•sorting items like golf balls, flower bulbs or small toys
Meshy Hot Sacks bags are made from polyethylene resin, a fully recyclable plastic, and are fairly inexpensive:
• Meshy Hot Sacks Produce Bag, $4.99 for a set of 8
Now you can win a set of these as well just by entering! SWEET!!
To Enter:
Mandatory Entry – ***This is a MUST!! Those who don’t fulfill the very first entry will be disqualified! Also, any comments such as ‘enter me’ or ‘love to win’ will be deleted.***
1) Head on over to Hot Sacks and check out all of these sweet bags! Please let me know what you would love to have!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Envirosax Aqua Water Bottles Review & Giveaway!! CLOSED
Friday, January 21st, 2011
For some, it can be hard to imagine a world without plastic – especially plastic bags.
The cons of using plastic bags are so overwhelming I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pollution problem, their lightweight design allows them to blow away easily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so people don’t think about how they dispose of them. They are made from petroleum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biodegrade, instead they breakdown and are mistaken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine animals which is fatal. They are found everywhere and many animals become fatally entangled.
They are not biodegradable, so they will persist pretty much forever, wherever they end up. Landfills if we are lucky, but because of their widespread use and their ability to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clogging the stomachs of a variety of animals, most famously sea turtles looking for jellyfish.
The recycling of plastic bags, while preferable to other disposal methods, is not cost-effective. Plastic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the billions that have been produced since then have caused immeasurable damage to the environment and to wildlife.
Thanks to Envirosax reusable shopping bags, there is no more need for this DREADFUL plastic!!
“Founded by Belinda and Mark David-Tooze in 2004, Envirosax® originates from Currumbin Valley in South East Queensland, Australia. The Envirosax team uses renewable and recyclable products where possible, and is committed to operating on ecologically sustainable principles.
Situated on 10 acres of pristine Australian rainforest, Belinda, Mark and their three young children live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle with solar hot water and photovoltaic cells for electricity. A sewage system recycles waste water, watering the extensive permaculture gardens and filtered rainwater tanks provide the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and the premises with water.
They live totally off the grid and are living the sustainable lifestyle that we hope will spread to more and more homes in the future.”
All of Envirosax Reusable Bags are neatly categorized and also come in an extensive array of fashionable designs and colours making shopping a complete snap! Not only are these bags eco-friendly, they are eco-chic to boot!!
I was sent an Envirosax Aqua Water Bottle to review, and it totally exceeded my expectations! I take it everywhere with me now, and will definately be ordering more of these in the near future!!
Aqua Skinnys are a traditional shape with ten new fun designs, all stainless steel and BPA safe. Purchase an optional sports top separately. All fifteen match bags from different ranges – can you guess which ones?

•Each bottle comes with a screw top lid with a caribiner attached, and an optional sports cap can be purchased separately
•Bottles are not dishwasher, microwave or freezer safe
•Bottles are non-insulated and should not be used for storing hot liquids

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Miss Malaprop Review & $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!!CLOSED
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Miss Malaprop owner and founder Mallory Whitfield is a proud resident of New Orleans, Louisiana. Miss Malaprop features many gifts inspired by New Orleans and made by New Orleans based artists. Miss Malaprop is currently donating a percentage of all sales (both online & in person events) to help with cleanup efforts related to the recent Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill disaster which makes me so proud!!
Miss Malaprop is where modern handmade meets sustainable design. On my website, I spotlight the best in independent designers & artists, eco-friendly and sustainable products, New Orleans & Gulf Coast based businesses and issues, and people & organizations who are working to make the world a better place.
“My own creations reflect those same principals. I began selling my creations under the name “dismantled designs” in 2004, after arriving home from a study abroad program in London where I saw the amazing artists at Portobello Market and where I was inspired to begin selling my own reconstructed clothing & accessories.
My designs are all one-of-a-kind, handmade and original. Most are made from used or vintage clothing, or remnant fabrics and trims. Each piece is meant to have a slightly unfinished, rough-hewn, well-loved look about it. I hope you enjoy!”
Shopping at Miss Malaprop is a complete snap, as everything is so neatly categorized on the left all at extremely low, unbeatable prices!!
The extensive lineup of products include:
Miss Malaprop is definately your one-stop shop for all of your eco-friendly and eco-chic products! I was sent some of her magnificient Pralines and Cream Soap — Milk Soap with Pointe Coupee Pecans and it is BEYOND heavenly! The smell is divine and sensual — smell the wonderful relaxing aroma and just let your senses guide you!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ ReUsies Snack & Sandwich Bags Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Monday, July 26th, 2010
ReUsies were developed by Seattle moms with a passion to do right by their children and provide a solution to the plastic bags they were using for school and work lunches. Each ReUsie has the potential to replace thousands of plastic wraps and baggies. ReUsies are made in Seattle, Washington, and the company supports waste-free initiatives across the nation with education and donations.
For some, it can be hard to imagine a world without plastic – especially plastic bags.
The cons of using plastic bags are so overwhelming I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pollution problem, their lightweight design allows them to blow away easily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so people don’t think about how they dispose of them. They are made from petroleum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biodegrade, instead they breakdown and are mistaken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine animals which is fatal. They are found everywhere and many animals become fatally entangled.
They are not biodegradable, so they will persist pretty much forever, wherever they end up. Landfills if we are lucky, but because of their widespread use and their ability to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clogging the stomachs of a variety of animals, most famously sea turtles looking for jellyfish.
The recycling of plastic bags, while preferable to other disposal methods, is not cost-effective. Plastic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the billions that have been produced since then have caused immeasurable damage to the environment and to wildlife.
I was sent some ReUsies Snack & Sandwich Bags to review, and they are phenomenal! The benefits of using the ReUsies are fantastic! ReUsies™ are a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags, each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. ReUsies™ are 100% cotton lined with leak-resistant nylon and are secured with Velcro® closures. I love them so much!!
Now you can win some of these wonderful bags as well thanks to the kind and generous folks over at ReUsies as they have offered to give 1 very lucky CoolCanucks reader that very chance!! SWEET!!

Thanks to ChicoBag Reusable Bags, there is no more need for this DREADFUL plastic!!
In 2004, ChicoBag President Andy Keller went to his local landfill after doing some backyard landscaping, and was shocked by the number of plastic bags he saw. On the way home, he noticed plastic bags caught in trees, stuck in fences, blowing along on the ground. He vowed that day to stop using plastic bags, and using a second hand sewing machine, began working on what would become the first ChicoBag.
All of ChicoBag Reusable Bags are neatly categorized and also come in an extensive array of fashionable designs and colours making shopping a complete snap! Not only are these bags eco-friendly, they are eco-chic to boot!!
ChicoBags are made from recycled materials including pop bottles into bags that are both functional and stylish!
