Earth Day 22nd April 2017 Call to Action Ideas for Improving the Environment

Today, 22nd April is the Earth Day and this year the Earth Day Campaign is going to focus on "climate literacy to empower global citizens with knowledge to inspire action for environmental protection".

Here is our list with ideas how everybody consciously could improve the environment:

1. Reduce using plastic bags or at least use recyclable ones

2. Use products packed in recycled flacons, boxes, packages - nowadays there are tones of companies that offer such kind of products out there in the market

3. Plant trees, flowers, bushes - it can be fun project for both kids, parents and grown-ups plus the end result out of this activity is more than beautiful

4. Recycle the waste (plastic bottles, used batteries, old clothes, cardboard and paper) - build a habit for your household or office to send the waste at the appropriate collectible places

5. Reuse when possible plastic bags and bottles - instead of buying again and again plastic bags when shopping you could always have with you one or two; the same goes for the plastic bottles after usage you can fill the with water, fruit juice or another favourite drink. 

6. Share with your friends, colleges your knowledge and experience that improved your common environment

7. Learn more about the effects of the global waste problem by the Documentary Trashed.

If you are Sofia based Participate in the Recycling Campaign today or just read about 5 Reasons Why to Use Tote Bags.

Plus do not forget: "If you think waste is someone else's problem, think again."

Thank you for reading! Feel free to comment and share with us what are your ways for recycling or reducing the waste.

And the Winner Is...

Hey everyone!

Time to announce the Winner of CRAFTWOMEN Studio recycling quiz. Coincidentally (or not) today is also Friday the 13th. So instead of whining and moaning bout walking under ladders and bad luck in general yer beautiful-and-untouched-by-evil Craftwomen would love to urge you to try and recycle some of them evil and dark thoughts and spirits too. Think for a second. A recycled psycho homicidal maniac freak, for example, could turn out a great guy and possibly accompany you for a supersonic gin and tonic rally on your porch instead of dismembering and mutilating your body with a rusty chainsaw. Morbidly depressing bloodbath? Fatal? We say not. "Fatal" is a great Pearl Jam track by the way.

As for the recycling quiz thingy - faith in humanity is restored. Quiz aftermath is encouraging. Keep up and big up! There will always be someone to appreciate the efforts. Oh, and you make ol'Craftwomen proud!

Mind you, there could only be one winner. The random picker generator decided that the prize, Craftwomen's green heart tote bag, will go to:

Congratulations to the Winner in our Recycling quiz! Hope you will enjoy this reusable tote bag!

Five Good Reasons Why to Use Tote Bags

Lately we have finished two of our favorite tote bags designs - one with geisha head and the other one dedicated to the heart shapes.
Here we give you five good reasons why to use tote bags:

1. Good for the environment - having a tote bag more or less will help you using less plastic bags in your daily life

2. Durable - tote bags, no matter what  size or style, can be re-used again and again 

3. Variations - actually tote bags are quite practical - you can use them as shopping bags, gym bags, work bags, beach bags,  picnic bags, school or uni bags, knitting bags, laptop bags, 

4. Reusable - tote bags are very durable and long lasting, if taken care of they will last you for years and years

5. Save money - by using a fabric bag you will avoid having to buy plastic bags both in shops and supermarkets and what is more having your customized fabric bag with you, you will not have to pay for another bag every time you go shopping
