One aspect of fighting climate change is recycling - and more and more we’re seeing recycling products becoming fashionable items. One such item is the recently launched Recycled Juice Bags and Purse. These fashion accessories are made from recycled juice cartons in The Philipines - however, by buying these products you’re helping impoverished communities - so you’re helping fight poverty and climate change.

The bags are available from Firebox. It will cost you £9.95 for the shopper style bag (shown above) and £14.95 for a woven style bag. The purse is on sale for under £3 at The Ethical Superstore, who also have other recycled juice products from The Philippines.
Staying with recycled bags - you might have noticed that Tesco have recently introduced biodegradeable bags (the free ones!). They’re a lot thinner than the previous bags, so may not be as re-useable as their predecessors. However, you should still try and recycle them or re-use them! One question though that bothers me about these bags - if a company like Tesco can offer their customers these bags now, in this eco-climate, why couldn’t they have done so before?
