a mission to be eco-friendly

Welcome!

Last year while making my kids lunches, it dawned on me that all of the plastic bags I was using in their lunchboxes were ending up in the trash - then the landfill! I know these bags take a long time to break down. I pleaded with my kids to bring them home and reuse them, but that never happened. So, I ran across some polyurethane laminated fabric that some of my mom friends used to make cloth diaper covers...It's waterproof, really??!! Well, all be darned! I can use this stuff to make bags for my kids lunches! And it began! I found Celtic Cloths on-line that sells PUL in all sorts of colors and started making snack bags. I added fun fabric prints to the outside to appeal to my kids. They loved them! The snack bags came home! I started making them for their friends and now I make them for everyone! :)

My company, Random Sacks Of Kindness, caters to families with children and individuals who are eco-conscious. The eco-friendly items that I have in my shop are made from fun, trendy, colorful, and durable fabrics.

Random Sacks Of Kindness (RSOK) offers an eco-friendly alternative to plastic zipper sandwich, snack, and large sized bags with a hook and loop closure fabric bags with a waterproof liner. We also have a replacement for plastic produce bags found at the local grocery market with muslin cinch sacks. Finally, we have other eco-friendly alternatives for paper napkins & towels and anything else I see that can be made reusable.
