Save the Earth with the Help of SM’s Newly Designed and Launched Eco Bags

There are a couple of things you may not know about plastics: In 2006, the percentage of plastic wastes has just increased from less than a percent 52 years ago to close to 12 percent. The energy used in making one bottle of plastic is already enough to power a 60-watt bulb for more than 5 hours.

Hundreds of thousands of marine creatures die because of plastics in the water. Most of all, plastics are non-biodegradable. They take around a thousand years before they even start decomposing.

Simply put, allow the plastics to pile up, and you pollute the entire earth. That’s why the move of SM is none other than timely. With its launch of newly designed eco-bags last August 6, 2010, at its branch in Cebu, you will be able to make your own contribution to save Planet Earth.

The Concept

The concept of the eco-bags is very simple. Instead of carrying plastics when you go shopping, you let the sales staff put in your goodies inside the bag. This way, they don’t end up using a lot of plastics every day.

The Different Designs

The new eco-bags are slightly larger than the first version and are now available in different colors, which stand for every earth element. Dark blue is called Flow (water); orange, Spark (Fire); white, Renew (Earth); and light blue, Breathe (Air).

Moreover, for only P35.00 you don’t only get to buy any of the stylish eco-bags, but you can also donate to several projects. When you purchase Flow, you help in saving the water; Spark, conserving energy; Renew, recycling other waste materials; and Breathe, cleaning the air.

Fashionwise, the bags have been conceptualized to be hip and versatile. The stunning bright colors are gorgeous and pleasing to the eyes, while the long straps allow you to carry them like the messenger bags. You can also transform them into handheld bag.

Now who says you cannot be a fashionista-environmentalist?
