What others say about Onelessplasticbag

People are catching onto the issues with plastic bags and coverage of the Onelessplasticbags is becoming too common to capture completely. So here are some highlights:

We've been plugged on the 'We are what we do' newsboard as an alternative to the 'This is not a plastic bag' bag. It's nice when your customers sell your bags for you! New Consumer also proposed our bags as a better option!

We're offered as an alternative in two campaigns to Abolish Plastic Bags and Bring your own bag (Couple of petitions to sign there..)

Our first mainstream press was in the Country Living October 2006 issue and the November issues of The Green Parent and Organic Living.

We contributed to a short film about the awfulness of plastic bags (PLASTIC PLANET: THE CURSE OF THE CARRIER BAG). We are in the Sustainable London Directory 2005 and 2006 and have been filmed by Korean TV.

Jessica was also identified by the Guardian as a world changing woman although they described the bags as having a 'zippable pouch' which is completely wrong, as we all know zips are not known for their biodegradability! Ah well.. it is still a flattering article. We have also been covered in the Treehugger online newsletter.

We are Adili's best selling item (an ethical clothing online retailer).

And this is what a recent customer from the UK thinks
"My bag is a lovely crimson colour with a thick black pattern similar to paisley in design, and the fold up pocket is with green, red and gold. I used it the other day to take my two children to Warwick Castle. In it I took a picnic, drinks, various inhalers and a spacer (large plastic thing that the inhaler fits in to) a mini first aid kit, a purse, 2 children’s wallets brimming with pocket money, a newspaper for the long train journey. On the way back, although the picnic was gone, it was still full of the other stuff, plus a guide book, various wands (well it was Halloween week at the castle) two plastic swords, various leaflets, sweets and I have to say I did draw the line at a pumpkin! That was left behind for someone else to battle with! It never felt bulky or swung and hit people in the face like many of the rucksacks that were being used by fellow visitors, and it received many an admiring glance from passengers on the train. So all in all, a very successful outing with a fantastic bag, thank you!! I will be recommending it to the other people in my acquaintance that I have not already bought a bag for!!" Vicky, by email.

Here's some feedback from a customer in the US
"I gave my mother a bag as a gift when she came to visit. When she went back through the airport her bags were too heavy, so she had to remove items and put them into her carry-on. Well, needless to say, she had to use the bag that I had given her. She said at first she was trying not to overload it for fear of breaking it, but she had to keep putting things into it (her laptop computer, purse, books, water bottle, etc.). In the end she made it through 3 airports without incident and she said that she is a sworn believer now."
