GreenSmart has bags and cases that are not just green but neogreene. They make bags from bottles, laptop cases, bottle cases and briefcases.
(this from their website)
Product: know where it comes from and how it is made. We all have choices.
Any company can make something out of cotton and call it green. Our approach is deeper. We ask where the materials come from, who makes them, how are they made, what resources and how much are consumed to do so, what are the conditions, what is the eco-footprint, and more. Our goal of making products that are substantially better eco, social, function and design choices than comparable competing products drives us to find better materials and better methods and then encourage and enhance the efforts of those people. To embed change, we must reward the change agents and expand their opportunities. In this way, we feel, we can create products that make a difference.
I love going on the GreenSmart website, it’s full of information on how you can make a difference. They even have a GreenSmart glossary to help you be GreenSmarter.
I was able to review the small Neogreene bottle tote. It protects almost any shape bottle and uses less fabric than other bottle sleeves. It keeps your drink hot or cold better than the others.
GreenSmart has offered to give one Mommy Has to Work reader a Neogreene bottle tote with a stainless steel water bottle, just like mine! You’ll love it! To enter go to their website and learn something. There’s so much there to learn.

I learned that Neogreene packages (foam plus the fabrics glued to it) are only constructed using water-based adhesives. This eliminates the dependence on solvent based adhesives, which generally contain toluene and dimethyl formaldehyde. No neoprene supplier, that we have found, has yet to find an alternative lamination method for fabrics to neoprene rubber other than solvent based adhesives. In many cases, it is these adhesives that contain the VOCs which off-gas the distinctive odor popularly associated with neoprene.
Okay, so this is way over my head, but I trust that the info is correct and good. Thanks for the giveaway!
