green luggage on a green vacation!


When you are going on and eco-friendly trip you need to have eco-friendly luggage to top it all off. At Sherpani Eco-Friendly Luggage they have found a way to start something different for women. With their introduction of the new eco-friendly luggage collection they managed to make their new baggage out of 67% recycled materials. The Sherpani company's newest series of luggage has focused on another quality of their bags which is equally as important. They made these bags so that women could go out for an adventurous day in the woods and then go to dinner at a very fancy restaurant. There idea was to make it look good but tough at the same time.





Hip To Be Hemp


"Hemp is the favorite fabric choice for many ultra greens because of it’s the awe-inspiring qualities. Fine fawn hemp is unbleached, keeping it soft. Herringbone hemp is thicker and stronger. The
natural durability of hemp makes it an excellent, green choice for constructing bags and suitcases.

Hemp can also be combined with cotton to create a stronger, blended fabric that is even more durable. Hemp/cotton duffle bags, suitcases, wallets, and other travel accessories are widely available online and in natural stores."

eating in a green way

Water House is a new eco-friendly restaurant located in Shoreditch, East London. This was developed to try and eat a new way and the head of this restaurant wanted to "eat green." 48% of all the profits from this restaurant will go back into the environment and help improve the area. Not to many places other then London can you dine at this level and actually help out the community and climate at the same time as eating but it is time that everyone starts changing to help. The Water House restaurant uses climate water temperatures from the canals to provide its cooling and heating system. They use solar panels to provide hot water and renewable electricity; there are hydro-carbon fridges; water is filtered and bottled on site; a wormery digests raw food; a hot composter manages the garden's waste; an experimental system transforms cooking oil into a compostable substance; and the kitchen runs on hydroelectricity.
