Bench goes eco and green

MANILA, Philippines - We have all had disturbing thoughts about the environment becoming frail, rainforests balding, animals on the verge of extinction, the ozone layer being depleted, and pollution.

As individuals, we can start by changing aspects of our lifestyle that add to our environmental problems and one way is to buy eco-friendly bags that help lessen the problem of garbage disposal.

Bench has a new focus on fashion items where green is always indispensable: T-shirts bearing statements on saving the Earth and eco bags made from melted plastic bottles.

Richard Gutierrez wears his greenest message as a true supporter of this environmental crusade, at the same time maintaining his fashion sense. Colorful T-shirts in red or yellow are strong with graphics such as “Save our planet” statements or artistic images of trees. White shirts come in v-neck with words such as “pollution” and “solution,” khaki-green tees bear the recycle symbol.

The eco bag can be used every time you go shopping. It is foldable and can fit into a purse. Constructed as a backpack, it comes in forest green with the words “10 Bottles, 1 Pound Fiber, Bench eco bag.” Also available is an all-white shopping bag that has little elements that communicate recycling.

By using eco-friendly bags such as these, shopping can be more expedient, efficient and stylish as we help conserve the Earth and protect our world.
