Last month we posted a piece from WorldChanging.com on ‘Imagining A Post-Green World.’ Alex Steffen and the folks there asked their readers to imagine a world where sustainability had been achieved. At Love Tomorrow Today, we focus on how to equip people with products and ideas that can help them achieve a more sustainable future. We think our bag is a good start-  it’s made from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles (six 16oz. bottles to be precise), helping to chip away at the 45 billion plastic bottles that end up in US landfills every year and the 1 trillion plastic bags consumed worldwide each year. So, yeah, we think about bottles. A lot. Recently, we came across a this slideshow on plastic bottles by the artist Frank Yamrus. It made us wonder whether, in the post-green future that WorldChanging imagines, plastic bottles will be seen as just another link in the chain of true sustainability.

Norway is the latest in a growing list of countries to contribute to efforts to save the Brazilian rainforest. Japan, Sweden, Germany, South Korea and Switzerland are expected to follow soon with pledges of their own. Here’s a piece from the BBC about Norway’s $1B pledge to help save the Amazon!
