Canadian Living

“If you read my blog frequently, then you know I’m totally crazy about reusable produce bags.

In the November 2009 issue of Canadian Living, we featured handy reusable…

House and Home

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Green Living Show at Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre.

Credobags : L’affaire est dans le sac

Certes, Credobags n’est pas la première à proposer une solution de rechange aux sempiternels petits sacs plastique. Mais on aime particulièrement la marque parce que: – C’est beau: tout en coton et mousseline, avec un design rétro-moderne, épuré, pas de fioritures ni de message bêtifiant à la “j’aime mon quartier” ou “j’aime la nature”. Soft,…
