Act 2 – Green Smart Bottles to Bags Giveaway
Posted on October 20, 2008 by
Who would have thought recycled soda bottles could look so good!
Act 2 – Green Smart sent me a Bottles to Bags tote bag about a month ago, and I love it. It’s the bag pictured above, except mine is “stone,” not “olive”.
The tote works great as an over-sized purse. I use it to carry my assignments folder and extra pencils when I run writing workshops. My Kleen Kanteen fits perfectly, and there’s always room for a book. It’s also great for carrying purchases when I forget to bring my reusable grocery bag. I think it would even work well as an overnight bag. There are two inner zipped pockets, and sewn in pouches for pencils, cell phone, etc. to help keep things organized.
It’s hard to believe the fabric was ever a soda bottle (or in this case, 10-16 oz. soda bottles). It’s durable and stain resistant, but also attractive.
I have a really exciting Act 2 Green Smart Giveaway.
Act 2 – Green Smart was kind enough to offer a bag (of the winner’s choosing) for giveaway.
To enter, check out Act 2 -Green Smart’s website, then sign in here with a valid e-mail address to leave a comment, telling me which bag you like the best. Only one comment/entry on this post per person will be counted.
Later in the week, I’ll be posting an interview with Tom Larsen, president and founder of Act 2 – Green Smart, and give you a chance to enter again to increase your chance of winning. The giveaway will close on Sunday, October 26th, at noon (Eastern), and I’ll draw a name out of a hat to determine the winner. The winner will be announced on Monday, October 27th. Comments that appear to be spam will not be counted.
Good Luck!
P.S. As a matter of housekeeping. If you recently won an Allie’s Answers giveaway and haven’t received your prize yet, don’t worry. Tomorrow is shipping day, and it will get to you shortly.
I really like the olive messengers vertical bag, not because I carry a laptop but because I have 2 young kids! I like a shoulder strap so my hands are free, and enough room for the girls’ snacks and reusable cups. Cool site, enter me for that contest if you can (I’m in Canada, hope that’s ok). Thanks!
I would have never guessed that this bag was made from plastic bottles! I love the tote as well because I need the room to carry all the crap I carry around (but that includes my reusable grocery bags!)
I like the storm blue shoulder bag.
I love the horizontal messenger bag in stone because it’s perfect for when I ride my bike to the farmer’s market- I wouldn’t have to stuff fresh produce in my backpack!
Oo, I like them all, but I’d probably get the most mileage out of either the tote or the laptop sleeve.
I love them all. Its a hard choice but I would have to say that my favorite is the stone Messanger bag. It has plenty of room for my laptop and I can even find my phone!
The vertical bag is adorable! Thanks for the link to this site.
I like the vertical messenger bag in olive. I would give it as a gift to my daughter,a college student with a laptop.
I like the green one about 100 times more than I like soda.
I really like the messenger bag! Looks super cool and, more important, super BIG!
Ooh, very cute!! I like the tote you pictured here best!
Oh…I’m so glad I visited you today! My new Mac Book is arriving tomorrow and I need a laptop bag. I love the vertical messenger bag in stone.
What a cool site- and so cool they are making something functional, and cool with the bottles!
I’d like to win the horizontal messenger bag in stone, please!
thanks,

I like Noelle’s comment. As for bags, I like the vertical green messenger bag.
wow, I haven’t seen a good eco brief, and this looks like one I’ll save up for.
Thanks for being so darn hip & keeping us all up to date on the good goods. (and, ya know, giving us a chance to win them, too).
cheers,

I love the vertical messenger bag in stone – it looks so comfy!
I love them all too! My first choice would be the laptop jacket. Next would be the tote pictured here. I came here from Amy’s blog.
Will check back often.
My favorite is the green tote you posted. I dug a little deeper and couldn’t believe how affordable these bags were. Thanks for sharing!
I like the vertical messenger bag in stone. I love the idea of using plastic bottles to make bags and other items. I have two dog beds and two cat beds made from recycled plastic soda bottles. It’s amazing what we can do with what we just throw away!
I love this company. I’ve been thinking about buying one of their bags ever since I read about them on the good human. I really like the vertical messenger bag. If I don’t win one, I’ll be asking for one of these for Christmas.
I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time. It’s so tough to choose one! I really like the laptop jackets and the horizontal messenger bag. Either one would make me happy
wow these bags are great! my favorite is the storm blue shoulder bag. It would suit me perfectly! I always have a spare grocery bag in my car and in the man’s car!
I’m completely in love with the stone horizontal messenger bag! I’ve been eyeing these products for awhile, and may put them on my Xmas wish list, or better yet, give them as gifts!
What great bags! I like the green tote, just like you have!
outstanding! love the blue shoulder bag! thanks!
I love the vertical stone messenger bag – would even match my bike!
The Laptop Sleeves are so cute. Perfect for me to use for school. Thanks a bunch!
I love the vertical messenger back! All of the bags are really cool, though…
I think I would use the tote the most..I like the pretty olive color. My diaper bag is falling apart and this would be a nice replacement.
I can’t seem to decide between the tote and the laptop case. I think I’d have to go with the tote. At least it’s the most practical for me right now. I currently carry a few different bags to work. It would be nice to consolidate. It’s also my favorite color!
Amazing what plastic bottles can do!
I like the tote bag in stone. Thanks!
