Earth to Gert Products
The Bags
I received the Lily Pad tote, and it's definitely the strongest tote I've had in a long time. I was able to transport a watermelon without fear of the bag ripping. It's made of organic cotton that was grown in the USA, and the bag is assembled in the USA. So if you are looking to shop local this is the way to go. It's a little on the small side, so I definitely recommend it as a book bag, as opposed to a shopping bag. However, don't despair, Earth to Gert offers bags in several sizes, so your sure to find one that suits your needs. It's strong enough to handle even the heaviest biology book, without tearing on the book corners. The design is attractive and printed with eco-inks, and will definitely garner favorable comments from your friends. The story behind the image is also a great conversation starter.

The Scrubbies
This has to be my favorite product out of those offered on the site. The Eco-Scrubbies are reusable scrubbing cloths for washing dishes, cleaning house, etc. There isn't much information about them on their site, as far as I can tell but these are a reusable. Whenever they start to get a bit funky, you can just toss them in the wash. I've been using mine to wash dishes for over six months now and it's almost as good as new. It has enough roughness to clean my dirtiest pan, but not too much as to scratch. So, compared to sponges, this is definitely the way to go. They don't fall apart, and can be washed to avoid "nasty sponge" syndrome. These scrubbies are free with purchase.
The Cards
These are beautiful cards that are also eco-friendly. Nice images printed on quality paper make this a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys ol' fashioned letter writing. The cards are made of sugar cane pulp and recycled paper fibers and the envelopes are made of hemp. They are packaged in a compostable plastic wrap and made in the USA. They are so lovely, I wanted to learn calligraphy, just to do them justice.
