I have always been earth-conscious. I strongly believe that every little step I can take can amount to a significant change over time. I am constantly trying to be greener but I don’t always know where to look for green products. Well, that changed when I found BuyGreen.com  This amazing online store has thousands of green products under one ‘virtual roof’. No need to search everywhere anymore!

At BuyGreen.com, you’ll find clothes and accessories, personal care products, toys and games, pet products, products for the home, decor items, cleaning products, office supplies, furniture, and more. They offer products for personal use but also for commercial use which is a very good idea because it can be as difficult if not more difficult for a business to go green compared to an individual or family going green. To sweeten the deal even more, BuyGreen.com offers free shipping on thousands of products. If that doesn’t convince you to visit their site and go green, I don’t know what will! With such an amazing selection of products and free shipping, you can be certain to find something unique AND green for everyone on your list!

Not only does BuyGreen.com offer green products but they also take the time to analyze each product and tell you which aspects of its lifecycle are green: source material, manufacturing, use, and disposal. They basically look at everything from toxins to animal testing to energy and resource consumption and packaging. It’s nice to see how thorough they are with their product selection because it’s not enough for a product to claim it’s green, there has to be proof to support it!

For this review, I received the Sativa Multi-Purpose Hemp Satchel in grey. The bag is 12.5” x 11” and 4.5” deep. It has many pockets (2 on the front, 2 smaller ones on either side and inside pockets as well.) The bag also has a key holder so you never have to dig for your keys! It is a good size: A4 size paper and books fit nicely in it. One of the neat features of this bag is that the strap position can be modified so you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a backpack. No need to buy 2 different bags. Isn’t that a great green design idea?

As far as the fabric goes, hemp is an awesome fabric choice: it is natural, is stronger than cotton, has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, blocks UV light, is very durable and breathable. As you might have noticed, there are leather trimmings on this satchel. I was pleased when I found out that the leather was re-purposed. One more green feature!

Overall, I really like this satchel. I love its versatility, its rugged look and its ‘green-ness’! It’s my new go-to bag when I travel because it’s the perfect size for my travel essentials. It would also make a great bag for a student.
