This bag!

In wildly expensive bag news (Julie will love this one) I present you with this adorable, but WAY too expensive bag option…

The “Think Green” Organic Cotton Kermit Tote:

Pros:

• Totally adorable
• Organic
• Comes with buttons - if you’re into that sort of thing.
• It saves plastic bags

Con:

Um, almost $40 PLUS $8 shipping, for anything, even a hand spun by the queen, organic bag, is frankly, INSANE. I’m sorry, but here’s the deal; if people really want to make a difference and create change, they’re going to need to make nice organic items accessible to all of us, not just rock stars and others with fatty bank accounts.

I talk a lot here about the choices we make. Like I choose not to own much stuff, I save my $ for organics that provide better health for Cedar. But this bag is not about making a choice; like I’ll cut back on something else to pay for it, because overall, it’s just too expensive. Many places sell longer term bags for a better deal overall. Other places sell organic bags for less. What’s up with this bag?

I don’t know who made it, but it’s a very lame move to charge so much for an item like this. Great job winning the anti-green award of the week bag creator!
