When i read about this camera bag it wasn’t because it was a cool camera bag, it was actually because it was made from recycled pop bottles, and that in its self seamed interesting to me.

the bag seams to be laid out really nicely gibing you the option to hold you pack on one shoulder and pull your camera out of the bottom side. it is also weather resistant with seam tapes seams and a rain cover so when you spent a few hours hiking you don’t have to hightail it back to the car at the firs sight of rain.

There was recently the Edmonton Grand Prix here and noticed how there are now earth friendly car products, instead of fiber glass you might see something that is hemp fiber held together with a linseed resin, or maybe tires made from potatoes starches. as if that washy enough. what about brake pads made form cashew shells?

I find these things interesting because they are not exactly cutting edge in technology, the idea might be new but it just took some one to look at a problem or solution a different way to create a earth friendly solution.
