«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 409 Newer› Newest»I think what you are doing is great and I would be honored to win one of your bags. My son encouraged me to go green several months ago and I already have some cloth bags, but would like to add one of yours to mine. Hope I win.

Good Morning
What a wonderful idea... being an artist myself i have done similar bags for family and friends around their birthday and holidays but due to disability I couldnt imagine a scale as huge as yours....as a citizen of the planet Earth, Thank you for caring enough to put forward what a grand gift, toobad many others havent joined us in making a contribution even if it is small, it has to start somewhere. Maywe request a free bag of yours , maybe we can swap one of my hand painted for one of yours,,, our email address is: grainboth at clarityconnect dot com....thank you and God Bless you for helping to save our Earth for those that come after us
I think this is an awesome idea, and I commend you for starting your own unique way of "going green".

Green Bag Lady. I am so inspired by what you are doing. I have been buying eco-friendly bags for some time and people often look at me like I am wasting money, but I am happy because I am doing my part to save the environment. I saw you story on CNN and I would consider it a privilege and an honor to have one of your bags. I am going to ask my friend if we can take this on as a project; thanks for the pattern. Please consider me for a bag. My email is pksnowden@gmail.com.

I think it is wonderful what you are doing. we need more poeple like you ladies in this world. My son is really into recylcling right now and we would love to have one of your bags for our shopping. shortnsassy9 at yahoo dot com.
Dear Green Bag Lady,
:-) I really admire the love that you have for mother earth. I saw your special on the news online and I like your idea. I do a lot of recycling on the campus I work at and I also shop with backpacks when I hit the store. I would love to have one of your beautiful bags!!!

I just read about this great site of yours. I think you are doing a wonderful job, especially because it is coming from your heart.
I would love to get one of these wonderful bags. I have been recycling for the past 3 years, and i think it's awesome to help out the environment. Hope I'm considered for a bag. Thanks for all, Sonia..my email adress is Genie1027@yahoo.com

I think what you are doing is wonderful. I have some extra fabric I would like to send you. My email is tjkattanatyahoodotcom if you would email me an address to send it to I will get it out right away. Thank you for what you are doing!!
It is very rare to witness the kind of selflessness and respect for our planet that you exhibit. Thank you for your gifts to people, and our Earth. This is truly a 'pay it forward' situation, and whether or not I am selected for a bag (you are one busy woman!), I promise to work alongside you in your 'green' efforts.

This is such a wonderful idea. I think that store should do away with paper and plastic and start using fabric. My email is blue_october_fan_4_life@yahoo.com
YES! You gave me an idea. I hope I can get a bag, but if not, I think I can still work out my plan. I am a Meals on Wheels deliverer and maybe I can make a bag for each of my clients. I think this would make a great Christmas gift for the people. Of course I would add a little goodie inside.

GREAT IDEA Greenbag Lady!
I saw your story on Yahoo News and would love to carry your bag around New York City! I walk everywhere and buy only what I need (due to lack of storage) so I'm in and out of stores constantly. Each time I go into a store, a new bag is used and I would love to have just one bag that I can put everything into as I'm walking around. It would be an honor to use your bag and spread the word! My email address is juliap61atyahoodotcom. Thank you!
Hi! My name is Sundé (sunday) and I'd love to have a GreenLady bag! How chic and posh!! I'm in the beginning stages of learning to be green and switching things over. Having one of your bags would be a great addition to my "green journey"!!
email address: jeffandsunde at gmail dot com
Thanks for your consideration--i hope you pick me!!
and THANK YOU for encouraging the world to GO GREEN!!!
What an amazing idea. I have never been one to take a reuseable bag to shop but your story has really encouraged me that everyone no matter how BIG or small the effort can help our enviornment. I would be honored to carry one of your bags!
Hello Green Bag Lady Family,
I would be honored to receive one of your bags, and I will *PROMISE* to put it to good use. Whether it be the grocery store, the mall or wherever. I have to admit when I go shopping for clothing or gifts at many local vendors I don’t take along a “green” bag. This bag would be great for more than just groceries; really it can be used at any store, for any reason. I will spread the word about what you are doing by showing just how wonderful this idea is. Thank you in advance.

Hello Green Bag Lady,
I saw your segment on CNN yesterday and am really happy that you are doing something so valuable. I live about 2 miles from a landfill in CO and hate the fact that water bottles, plastic bags and numerous other materials, are needlessly dumped and left to corrupt our environment without any thought of recyling. I applaud your generous gift of teaching through giving.
Kind regards,
Kim Lee, ERIE, CO

Dear Green Bag Lady, After seeing your story on CNN yesterday it would be an honor to sport one of your bags the next time I go to the supermarket. If you had a lifetime I can't imagine you'll ever fill all the requests you'll surely receive. But if I should be so lucky, my email is angelatgg@gmail.com.
Thank you for your gift to our planet.
What you are doing is amazing! I try to be as environmentally-friendly as possible. My mother has a shop where she makes soaps, lip balms, healing balms, herbal bath teas--all sorts of things that are made as organically as possible...
Keep up the good work and spreading the word about the evils of plastic bags...:)

I tapped the show, and showed to it my family. My 12 year old daughter and I are very excited! I am writing this post for her so that she can get a bag. You are truly and inspiration! I am glad that you are doing something that even children can get involved in, and get excited about!

Thank you for doing this! This is wonderful, and you are my hero of the day!
(BTW - no need to enter me in the drawing. I already have and use fabric and knitted bags, so I don't want to take from anyone else... )
I would just adore a bag. I HATE using plastic bags. I know that they can't be recycled and that someday that plastic could have been used for medical reasons. If you can still send out a bag here is my info:

I already try to recycle as much as possible-to the point it annoys others, but I haven't gotten one of these going yet. Thanks and I am sure you will get all the good back that is given.

THE PAY IT FORWARD IS ONE OF THE GREATEST IDEALS TO HIT PLANET EARTH IF ONLY OTHERS HAD THE SAME COMPASSION. I SORT OF PRACTICE THE PAY IT FORWARD IDEAL WHEN I FEED PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I'VE FOUND IT BRINGS PEOPLE CLOSE TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. IF I'M CHOOSEN TO RECIEVE A BAG I'LL LOVE THAT, IF NOT I JUST WANTED TO SURE MY PAY FORWARD EXPERIENCE.

I forgot to add a thought to your idea. An idea amid an idea so to speak.
Why not show your CNN taping, and your blog to a corp. sponsor and explain your idea to them so that they can add hands for you (ie help) and materials/ postage, etc. Tell them you will add their logo to the fabric so that you can then DO MUCH MORE FOR FREE, & GET HELP DOING IT!?
One of my many thoughts that usually get me nowhere but sound genius when I think them. [LOL.]
Hoping to get a bag for myself, Julie from AZ
sxjulie2000ATyahooDOTcom
I am touched by your gift and generosity. I would love to receive one of your bags. We are a work-at-home, homeschool family and are doing our best NOT add more plastic to our lives. I am going to download the bag pattern also and have my daughter make one during our classtime. She will love it....it's now time to go through those garage sale clothes and see what we can recycle into bags! WOOHOO! THANK YOU for making a difference.

I love what you are doing. We started using re-usable bags here for the past month but we still need that one bag that can go to any store instead of abag with the store name on it already.
My name is Joy and I am from Bayamon , Puerto Rico. I just saw the Green Bag Lady this morning on the news and thought that her bags looked so cool. I have a two-year-old and she does not mesh well with plastic shopping bags. Fabric bags are so much easier to carry my groceries in because I can toss one on my shoulder and still have my hands free to deal with an energetic toddler. Helping the planet is an extra perk. Congrats on what u r doing. It really is wonderful and a step in the right direction for us all. joy.l.davis@hotmail.com
Hey!
This is amazing!
I took a world issues class during the summer and we learned about the destruction plastic bags have on the planet. So when I saw your story on CNN I was simply amazed and so happy to see someone doing something for the planet like this.
I'd adore to have a bag and promise to send you pictures of the bag's adventures in Canada.

Thank you :)
Hello Green Bag Lady,
I started using cloth bags when we lived in Germany 8 years ago and kept it up in Australia and England, where they are ahead of us in the bag revolution. (The Aussie bags have been the best...) So I won't ask for one of yours because I have plenty.
I also have 2-3 little fold up bags that I can put in my purse that unfold to be a regular size bag. I use those ALL the time. If you or your bagettes get bored with making your current size, you might want to think about that.
But I will add to the commendations you've gotten - great idea to publicize their use! Personalizing them for people is also a great idea.
Thanks for being a revolutionary!
Loved the story on CNN! The radio station where I work, WTMX, features many green idea's and I will put you link on my page, www.wtmx.com/cara.php
I'd love to get a bag! :-)

Hello, I just saw your segment on CNN.com and thought to check out your site. A few months ago I read an article in the Delta flight magazine about being more eco aware, and conserving and recycling.

Thanks for your service you are greatly appreciated. I have been using my own bags since 1971. When I lived in Germany many years ago I found out it was illegal to use paper or plastic bags in the grocery store because of the landfill crisis.
You can use the email at my YouTube site that I left there above if you have any extras. I would love to have one.

Great thing you are doing. We all need to try and recycle/reuse. I use my cloth bags always. I like yours because of the material. Some designers have fun ones..but cost way too much... my email is
juliea49913@yahoo.com
I would love one, but I know you have many comments here.
I think this an awesome way to "pay it forward". There has been an increase of companies to jump on the green bandwagon and provide reusable bags to replace paper or plastic, which is great, but there's still a problem, the produce section. Even if we go green with taking our groceries home, we're still forced to use plastic. I saw a picture of you using your homemade bags for produce. Way to step it up a notch! I would totally use those produce bags! I have found a local produce store in my area where the produce is much less expensive than at my supermarket, it helps to support local growth, and in the end I am contributing to less energy being used by buying locally, but it kills me to put 15 different kinds of produce in the plastic bags, because in the end I am defeating the purpose. Please send me some of those amazing produce bags!
What a wonderful way of saving a little bit of the world a little bit at a time. I already use cloth bags ,but I could use a new one. intodragonsatyahoodotcom.
Hello. I am starting a green movement at work (a community college in California). I am not very good at sewing and would love one of your bags to help me understand how the bags are made. I wish to make bags and sell them for $1 each at our Spring scholarship fundraiser. All of the money will go to scholarships and will promote green on campus. I'll also include your list of green ideas that you include on your website as well as instructions on how to make bags. Thank you.

Hi! I am Tessa Piansay of the Philippines! I am a mother of two, and greatly concerned with global warming and was very inspired when the mall I used to work at began to make and promote a green bag at the supermarket for everyone to buy and get points when used. But when I saw you on CNN, your project is more than inspiring as it involves not discouraging use of plastic and paper but also recycling whatever fabric we have in our own homes! Here in the Philippines, and I believe in most of the countries in the world, surplus of unused clothes, new or old is absolutely alarming. No matter how much we promote donation of old clothes here for the less fortunate. There's just so much that go to waste or so many just gathering dust in our closets. I will be asking a friend to make it our project to make our own bags just like the ones you have and promote them among friends. I am sure you won't mind, I am actually picturing out a greatly useful charity event for Christmas or New Year! I hope my resources will allow me to do this soonest! God bless you and people like you!
This is such a great idea! I want to make sure I do everything I can to keep our planet clean for my children and grandchildren. My email address is 20-stewartfanATcoxDOTnet.
Hello Madam, I am greatly impressed by your idea and feelings that you carry for nature. I am from India and now am residing in South carolina.

Hi Green Bag Lady :) I just saw your story on CNN... and I love what you are doing! It's great that you're making fashionable bags that people can use instead of plastic/paper. I would love it if I could get one as well :)

Hey Green Bag Lady! I saw the story on CNN and what a great idea...hopefully others will follow your lead. I live in Chattanooga and it is a city that is striving to be more green. Thanks for all that you do. my email is jennylass02ATyahooDOTcom
Hello Miss Green Bag Lady,
I absolutely LOVE the green bad idea and would love to add it to my environ friendly collection! I sew plush, comfy quilts made out of old t-shirts, sweat pants, jeans, absolutely anything I can cut a square foot of material out of. I make them in any size and I've got a couple of my own and I've made some for family and friends. Its a great way to look back at an old t-shirt that you love but can't wear and say "oh ya! i remember those days." And its a great way to reduce garbage and help our wonderful Earth. Maybe we can do a switch off. Let me know. My email is dadiezgrl_8701AThotmailDOTcom. Thank you.

Great Idea to win a bag, I've a few generic looking grocery "bags" but your would liven up the shopping pleasure. Sher_ann50atyahoodotcom
Not only do I love the idea that your bags are good for the environment by stopping the use of plastic/paper bags, but also because you use material that has been donated from another source. It is a true example of re-using. It also adds a fun vintage flair. Thank you for your selfless gift to the environment,
Amanda

What a fantastic idea! We are going to follow your lead - our Webelos II scouts are going to use your directions to make some of the bags to hand out for a conservation project. I'd love a sample to show them beforehand if I'm lucky enough to win one!

GBL, you are an inspiration to the younger generation that ANYONE can help in their own way. I Tivo'd your CNN story & had my 5 year old watch it. She instantly beamed: "Mommy, I love this! Can I have the one with the hearts for when I help you do groceries?" I hope she can. I loved your post about your Mom... In fact it got me thinking, I'd love to use the bag as my daughter's show & tell item in kindergarten on the letter "B" day, to start the class thinking. Thank you for what you are doing!

Isn't it great giving to others ... thanks for giving.
Oh and I already voted, voted early. Thanks.
What you are doing is great! I've been using sustainable bags now for 4 years and at some stores I get a discount (5 cents a bag) or a raffle ticket to win a $20 gift card to the store (Trader Joes's draws daily!) or I'll get an odd look or 4.
It would be nice to win a fun bag to mix in with my store bags (I like to collect them... I have bags from 5 countries!)
Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work.

Hi!
I just saw your CNN video clip and have to say what you're doing is awesome! I've bought green bags that Target or Walmart sells in the past but have never used them. But I have to say what you're doing is very inspiring and I will start using fabric bags from now on. Having yours would be cool!

Wonderful- it's got everything- generosity, collaboration, rethinking the way we use stuff, greening, gifting instead of transactions- thank you for your efforts!
Christine@gogreenonline.com
I really enjoyed the segment on Green Bag Lady and I would most definitely use the bag as I have been recycling since I was a child. My father was big on recycling and I would like to continue the effort as well as pass this on to my son.

Good Luck with your save the planet quest!
I think what you are doing is wonderful, and I would be honored to have one of your bags. But in case I'm not selected... I watched your video on how to make a bag and I think I am going to try my hand at making one.

I already have a couple of fabric bags so you don't need to send me one but I just wanted to tell you:
1)I think it's wonderful what you're doing.
2) The fact that your bags are numbered and unique makes them valuable and I think you could easily sell you bags and still give away some and use some of your profits to promote awareness and green practices + plus pay for your time.
Wishing you Peace, Prosperity and Love
I saw the CNN video, I think you are doing a really cool thing and I hope you keep on doing it for a long time! My mother and father always taught me to use fabric bags instead of plastic/paper, but since I've come to college I've gotten a bit lazy with it. I'm going to start using fabric bags again!

Dear Bag Lady,
Who would have thought that term would have such positive, endearing connotation? I'm in awe of what your idea has put into motion for so many of us. I would be so appreciative and proud to tote one of your bags into any store I frequent. What a wonderful thing you have given to the 'keep it green' message...thanks.
Susan
Dear Green Bag Lady, my family would love one of your bags. Good job! I'm going to see if we can fire up our hardly-used sewing machine and maybe we can make some of our own.
Thanks,

I love that someone is actually giving re-usable bags out for free! I only wish there were more reasonable bag options out there besides advertising for crummy retail shops, spending a pretty penny, or being wasteful. You guys rock!
jaymeDOTbluemuATgmailDOTcom
I can't say how much I admire what you are doing. I am a single parent of a five year-old girl and I am trying to show her how what we do effects te world. Respect for what we leave behind.
THank you for giving me another example of what one person can do to change the world.

Hello ! My name is Sylvie and I live in France. I've seen the video on the CNN website and I find you idea just so amazing !!! I really just love what you are doing and I'm so impressed. I also try to take care of the environment and I do the recycling. I have to make a statement about the environment (I'm only 17) and I've decided to speak about you (if you don't mind :) ) and about your idea. I hope I can get one of your fabric bag so that I will show it and maybe do as well.
thx you so much (and sorry for my bad english)

Hi Green Bag Lady!
I'm so inspired by this I want to give them as Christmas presents to my sisters since we don't really exchange gifts anymore. But we all shop lots! I have 4 sisters and we are all concerned about the planet.
I had hoped to get a bag for each of us but I don't want to be greedy.
Thanks for doing your part for a greener planet!

Hi, I live in Northern California. I always take my bags with me to the store, I can always use a new one. Hope I'm picked to get one! I am also going to look at the pattern and try to start making my own. I have a ton of Indian dresses that I've been wondering what I could do with them, I think I have my answer! Hopefully I'll have enough skill when I try to make it work! I'm excited! mommyofpepperATyahooDOTcom
