I love glass art. I am working on some of my own designs right now! But there is one company who is doing great designs from recycled glass bottles that is really cool. The company is From the Blue Bag. Taking waste out of both the waste AND recycle stream, this company creates cool glass art that is functional. Check them out to see some cool stuff. Upcycling is the purest form of reuse, keeping trash out of the landfill. This company’s products are also great, because after being used for another purpose, they can still be recycled at the end of their second life. They are making a great product, and can be seen in a slew of retail outlets.
They recently moved to their new location at 2085 W. 114th Street in Cleveland, and as a grand opening celebration, they are having a “GIVE BACK” Party on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This is not just a cool party and celebration, this company is doing even more good. A portion of all sales for the evening will benefit E-CITY—a non-profit that teaches students entrepreneurial, business and life skills to enable economic independence. Given the new world economy that we are in, this is a great cause that is sorely needed, especially in Cleveland. This is an open house, so you can see their cool new digs, and do a little shopping, while doing a little good of your own. Remember, that by buying these eco friendly gift items, you are promoting the local economy as well. Why do you shopping at the last minute, when you could do it here and benefit a good cause, support an environmentally sound company, and have a beverage while you are at it. But do a little giving back of your own, and bring some non-perishable food items to help those who are in need.
Make your holidays Green!
