What Does Green Bag Mean To You?

Many people welcome "Green" effort to save our planet. An idea or just purchasing a green product doesn't mean it's enough. What we need to do is consistently showing our action to prove that the green effort is being carried forward.

You do not need to purchase a new greeny bag to show to everyone that you'll giving a helping hand to the mother earth. All you need to do is reuse your bag and taking care of your wastage.

An unpublished report from the UK's Environment Agency found that when compared to a traditional plastic bag, a canvas or cotton reusable bag would have to be reused a total of 171 times to offset the higher carbon emissions. The same study found however that the average cotton bag is used only 51 times before being thrown away. So, you'll need to reuse it at least 4 times more than the study shown!

So, just bear in mind when you want to throw the bag away.

Getting a right travelling bag

Do you like to move around?
If yes, then you'll need to read more to find yourself a right bag.

There are 5 important questions that you'll have to answer below:

A) Will the bag will shared other than yourself?
If yes, you'll need to write down number of people sharing the bag. This is mainly true if you're travelling with family. The more the merrier, but you'll need a bigger bag!

B) How many set of clothes you'll need for the holiday?
This question is depending on how long you'll be going for holiday and how are you going to recycle the clothes (if you plan to wash and reuse it during the trip). Less set of clothes mean smaller bag!

C) What's the season of the place that you're going?
If winter, you'll need to prepare thicker clothing as compare to summer. Thicker clothes mean bigger bag!

D) What type of place that you'll be?
If you're going for hiking, you don't need to carry a hard case frame with wheels! Use your common sense and your trip planning is important. If you're on a long holiday, make sure you've the right combination of bags that give you an option to move from city to city and at the same time to carry small little stuff at your back.

E) What's your size?
Not everyone is a gladiator and no need to be one during your holiday. Just make sure you enjoy the trip! Too large a bag can cause slipping and result in your arm/hand going numb. Too small a bag will result in doing the blow/squeeze cycle more often than is optimal with detrimental impact on blowing tone.

That's all for now! Hope you'll get a suitable bag for your trip and enjoy the holiday.
