I remember my grandmother always using furoshiki type of cloth wrap to carry things and I never gave it a big thought until recently. Those old wise women knew what they were doing! Amy:: those ninjas are soooo cute. Like you said, being green is using common sense. I know we are all watching what we spend and I think if people realize that being green doesn't have to be costly, then, they will be more green.

Making eco-friendly and wise choices is really important. If there's something we truly need - then yes go get a bargain. But if it's not, lets save our money and resources. Just buying things because they are a good deal and letting them go to waste doesn't do us good in the long run.

I completely agree and believe everyone can take small steps toward sustainable living like using the time-honored Japanese tradition of furoshiki for wrapping all those handcrafted, earth-friendly gifts. They are reusable! My artisan furoshikis, savvywraps, are 100% biodegradable. Cheers, Mandy Thanks for this lovely post and for raising awareness about handmade + eco-friendly.
