HIGH-FASHION BAGS WITH SOLAR PANELS AND CRADLE-TO-CRADLE TECHNOLOGY

Submitted by Harold on December 13, 2007 - 2:15pm

The new American handbag and satchel compony Noon Solar has gone deeply sustainable.

Noon Solar has just created a line of truly sustainable purses and satchels with incorporate thin and flexible solar panels (and adapters for cell-phones and ipods) made with cradle-to-cradle manufacturing process based on 11th Hour expert William McDonough. They are also made in the U.S. with fair labor practices and hand-made techniques.

The bags are made with materials that can either biodegrade naturally or be reclaimed and re-used by future users/generations (“cradle to cradle” philosophy) rather than the common “cradle to grave” product lifespan that has caused the rapid growth of landfills.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
