When we were kids, there was obviously some global warming going on, but if your parents weren't earth scientists, you didn't know about it. However, back then, we lived by the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as part of our daily lives and didn't think about it or label it. Grandma saved rubber bands, there was always a jelly jar repurposed as a drinking glass and we used paperbags to cover our school books.
Here at MY, we stive to strike a balance between fashion and usefulness in designing our products. Our philosophy is sewn with every stitch.
REDUCE
Reduce consumption - buy only what you love and buy only what lasts. MY bags have both lasting style and lasting quality. You won't tire of them and they won't get tired.
Reduce fuel emissions - drive less. MY bags are stylish, weatherproof and back friendly... perfect for mass transit, foot traffic and all kinds of non-fossil fuel modes of transport in any kind of weather.
RE-USE
Skip the disposable stuff. MY totes are so roomy that you can forgo the plastic or paper question at the store. Just stash tonight's groceries in your Wide Tote. MY bags have a water bottle pocket - specially designed for reusable bottles so you can stay hydrated without tapping the environment.
RECYCLE
Find a new home for old things. A healthy approach to your MY addiction - when you just have to have the latest MY bag, go ahead and pass along that vintage (yet brand new looking) MY bag to a friend or donate it to one of many great organizations like Dress for Success.
There's no such thing as too green! So even though we're feeling pretty green - Yvette is a mad recycler and Michele loves to compost every kitchen scrap; we know we can and should do more. So we're asking you to share your favorite green habit so we can all be a little greener!
Best,
