great greenies & a giveaway! with kootsac

greening.... i find it exciting and hopeful that while there sure are lots of terrible things going on to pollute & harm our planet, there are so many wonderful folks doing fabulous things to help make the world a greener, healthier place! so, the rikrak studio is happy to feature great green-ies : snapshots of amazing, inspiring. eco-forward-thinking folks & groups from all sorts of fields and paths in the greening movement. some inspire by greening at home, or in their business; in their art or the larger world, or on many levels at once! i've asked each green-ie to suggest an easy eco-idea or tip we might all be able to add to our daily lives. today i'm honoured to present the next in this series! and yay... read on to find out how to win a superfun eco.friendly prize pack!

i love great ideas.

enter kootsac (aka inkyspider).
i just love this bright & brilliant shop! kootsac makes gorgeous reusable bulk food bags, filling our need for an alternative to plastic while we shop! she handcrafts bulk food bags, produce bags, totes and more. i met kootsac thru her inspiring work both the EcoEtsy Team and the TransCanadaEtsy Team, and i've long been inspired by her fabulous ideas, her genuine commitment to greening and eco-forward living, and her leadership in the handmade movement.




and here's kootsac's eco.tip:
.......................

"I believe that the simple act of growing a garden leads not only to the nourishment of our bodies and souls but also to a deep love and gratitude for the earth. This is the perfect 'groundwork' towards healing our precious planet.

I love this quote from Dylan Thomas: "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower, drives my green age."
