Looking for a way to combine your love of bags AND recycling? The check out the Basura Bag that is sold at GreenFeet and seen in this article.

Tired of watching millions of juice containers (or doy packs) go into Philippine landfills, six women living in metropolitan Manila set up a co-operative to transform the trash into stylish bags. Local school children were paid to provide the raw materials, and the Kilus Foundation was born in 2000.

Today, the co-op has some 500 members. Each day, they turn 50,000 doy packs into purses, knapsacks and handbags that are sold around the world. The Philippine government got involved last year, as well, issuing an appeal to citizens to collect juice containers for the foundation.

And on top of all these greats things the bags are also highly affordable and look unlike any other bags out there.
