Eco Veggie

Friday, July 29th, 2011

 

One of the biggest reasons most folks invite or allow  plastic into their homes is to store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator.

Disposed after one use, these bags leave the kitchen bin and head right to an ever growing pile of non-biodegradable waste. Environmental concerns aside, storing fruits & vegetables in plastic is far from hygienic not to mention plastic keeps fruits & veggies from breathing which makes them to spoil faster.

We designed the Eco Veggie to address each of these concerns. They’re easily washable & reusable making them both hygienic & eco, add to that the fact that they’re made in 100% cotton allowing produce to stay fresh for longer.

The reusable Eco Veggie is perfect for storing vegetables and fruits in your refrigerator. Its 100% cotton fabric keeps fruits & veggies fresher for longer . The thoughtful messages on the Eco Veggie bags spread joy..

A small step that goes a long way towards a more Sustainable World.

Miracle Umbrella

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

The fields were parched and brown from lack of rain, and the crops lay wilting from thirst. People were anxious and irritable as they searched the sky for any sign of relief. Days turned into arid weeks. No rain came.
The ministers of the local churches called for an hour of prayer on the town square the following Saturday. They requested that everyone bring an object of faith for inspiration.
At high noon on the appointed Saturday, the townspeople turned out en masse, filling the square with anxious faces and hopeful hearts. The ministers were touched to see the variety of objects clutched in prayerful hands — holy books, crosses, and rosaries.
When the hour ended, as if on magical command, a soft rain began to fall. Cheers swept the crowd as they held their treasured objects high in gratitude and praise. From the middle of the crowd one faith symbol seemed to overshadow all the others: A small nine-year-old child had brought an umbrella.

When you do something , have complete faith that you will succeed.

Clean Planet is our act of faith towards our vision of a creative , sustainable world.

p.s – this is our umbrella

The 'model' totes…

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

The local veg market

Compact Tote among veggies

Compact Tote with even more veggies

The eco purchase in progress

The vibrant fruits and veggies

"I wish all my customers would bring a reusable bag to buy veggies"..thought the veg seller :)

We’ve been taking pics of our tote family for the online store. We’re trying to be as eco friendly as possibly using natural light for most of the pics. Folks in the building intrigued, amused, think we have a really cool job (which we do).

The bags virtually have a mind of their own. They change their expressions often and unexpectedly ( we now have huge admiration and respect for folks who photograph birds and animals )

Last week the scene of action moved to a local vegetable market for photography of the Compact Totes . The vegetable sellers and customers who happened to be at the market then were curious and interested. One good outcome was that it helped them to appreciate the value of a reusable cloth bag..

A few decades ago a visit to the local veg market necessarily meant carrying you own reusable bag . The veg vendors had no plastic to give away. This is one of the aspects of life where it’s appropriate and essential to say “let’s bring back the good old days”.

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Since the time Clean Planet has been launched we’re delighted , over whelmed , inspired by the love and appreciation we’ve received from the growing Clean Planet community across the world. While Clean Planet totes are available at several locations there’s a huge part of the planet we are currently not available at. Friends and fans of Clean Planet write in with their requests and we accept their requirements (esp when the totes are not available in retail in their city) . Doing this for a few months sparked off the idea to create the Clean Planet Store on-line.

We’ve been working on the Clean Planet on-line store that will be launched soon. Months of work, spirited debate (that continues) , joy , care, anticipation , planning are some of the ingredients going into the making of the store. It’s our first time ever. We’re loving every bit of it.

We would love to hear your views , ideas , suggestions for what you would love to see in YOUR Clean Planet store .You could also share your experiences , concerns , joy , expectations about online purchases which will help us understand your perspective .  And oh , inspire us by sharing about your fav online store and what you love about them.
