REDUCE your Carbon Footprint with Eco Force

This is the product that caught my eye yesterday. At Sainsburys, on a corner stuffed away, it was only by pure chance that I saw recycled Clothes Pegs by Eco Force.

I was only there as I was looking for the Fair trade selection at Sainsburys...I didn't need any clothes, and rarely buy new, ever, but wanted to see as it's World Environment Day coming up this week, was there a song and dance so to speak in-store with Point of Sale, merch etc.

With this thought I wandered to see the Fair Trade section. I couldn't believe the Fair trade T shirts for men, they had some in stock, but the cut wasn't that great, and I thought that was a amazing they had some in stock, but wasnt frankly surprised, the product, the T shirts, just didn't look as if they would flatter anyone. I must though praise them for gallent efforts to stock high street Tees that are Fair trade.

Next to them was to my delight a huge packet of clothes pegs. I dont need any more, these I had to get though, there brilliant. It was the dynamic packaging and reduce your carbon footprint written all over them that grabbed me. This is what it says on the pack. They also look as if they have a really clever design.

The facts on the pack:

Each tumble drier load can release up to 2.6 Kg in Co2.

EcoForce pegs are made from 100% recycled plastic from a mixture of pre and post consumer waste.

Making recycled plastic uses 70% less energy than making plastic bags.
