Twelve Rivers Musings

Can you hear us screaming in delight?! The EDEN bags are in and we couldn’t be more excited. Not only is each bag manufactured here in the U.S., each uses polyester created from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, also made in the U.S..  Colors and coordinated collections are stunning. The icing on the cake is each bag rolls up and secures in the matter of seconds.

Enticing names such as Tango, Java Flow, and Onyx Moon suggest moods all their own. Choose one or choose a collection.

Each bag comes with a tag telling you the number of plastic bottles recycled to create the amount of fabric used in the bag. EDEN uses the ubiquitous 16-ounce plastic water bottle as their reference point. So cool! (You ARE recycling those water bottles, aren’t you!)

EDEN eco-friendly reusable bags simply are quite wonderful!

Yesterday while waiting for my son’s guitar lesson, we browsed the music store and came across a new product – guitar picks made from wheat!  Who knew?!  They’re made in Nebraska by a company called Wheatware. And no, unfortunately for you hungry musicians out there, you can NOT eat them although they will biodegrade in the garden within three months!

My son, of course, bought one to use during his lesson… liked the way the raised logo made it easy to hold.

Wheatware’s primary focus is in replacing wooden products to save the destruction of over 30 million forest trees per year. Check out what other items they’re making from wheat: golf tees, hangers, bowls & plates, and lots more.

Accolades all around for Wheatware!
