The Bag Question

NEN Awards 2010

November 17, 2010

Last night was the annual Neighborhood Empowerment Network Awards, put on by one of my three 'panel' members. The awards aim to honor and celebrate residents and organizations who put their community first. 

After class I hopped on down to City Hall to enjoy a cheese, wine and mingle reception before the awards ceremony. Because of the green nature of my project, I think it is important to support other community members who try to make this world a safer, cleaner place.

            Of course, I had to include cheesy pictures of myself enjoying the event.

Green Fesitval Bag

A friend kindly bought this bag for me from the Green Festival on Saturday. Thanks Kishanti!

However, after talking to the woman at this booth, I found that this company outsources everything to China. Also, they do not currently carry anything other than cloth and mesh bags. Open market for me to jump into with my handy dandy produce bin? I think so.

SF Green Festival

Green Festival - November 6, 2010

Saturday I joined the masses of my fellow eco-conscious San Franciscans and headed down to the SF Green Festival. I was hoping to see the latest and greatest sustainable products relating to my own product development  and check out my potential target market. 

Initial mayhem, sample combinations that were sure to give you a stomachache, massage, clothes and overly priced delicious food:

Here is a booth dedicated to reusable bags, produce bags and the like:
