I was in Target the other day and was actually impressed with the amount of green supplies I was able to find. Still a LONG way to go, considering the overwhelming majority of wasteful plastic products and packaging, but SOMETHING is better than nothing. The one thing I was most surprised by was a kid’s backpack made from recycled plastic bottles!

Thanks for the article – I really like the Green Back to School Kits. Our school purchases the supplies the supplies in bulk – maybe I can convince them to do something like this.

How awesome, thanks for all these amazing suggestions!

I have another to add: I myself recently got a my son a most spiff messenger bag from Act2GreenSmart. It’s all made from recycled bottles, is nicely designed, and tells you right inside how many bottles were used to make it, how much energy that saved, and how long your average laptop would run on that amount of energy. I love how that makes your positive impact really tangible, something I want to instill in my son.

If you’d like to check them out yourself, go to http://www.act2greensmart.com They also have small shoulder bags, totes (that could double as diaper bags) and shopping bags.
