World Food Programme Feed Bag,Natural,one size

while some complain that this is buying and therefor less efficient than giving...purchasing this bag and carrying this bag raises awareness. every time someone asks about the bag or even just sees it that is one more person thinking about it. if we all just give less would be given as the sources we give to become more and more anonymous. whole foods offers "feed" bags at $29/100 children fed for a day, those are my gift bags rather than wrapping gifts. anyway, love the concept, love the product. giving is NEVER bad or wrong in this context.

I am not sure of how I feel about this bag. I like that is seems sturdy double layer, reversible. I like the cause, despite arguments over how much actually makes it to the feed program. I like that this bag atleast raises the awareness of the cause and encourages use as alternative to plastic bags....

But...I used the bag with burlap side out so that inside cotton straps are against my shoulder....and I get fuzzies from the entire exterior of bag all over my clothes. If I reverse it to white side, the burlap side of straps are on my shoulder and is rough but also leaves burlap fibers all over my clothes too. And then you get the burlap/rough side on inside so be cautious as you may get shedding fibers on whatever you store (if using as handbag). I haven't washed bag yet, but it seems that this may be the nature of burlap fabric even after washed?

So, I am torn since one of my main needs was as a frequent use sack/bag and it is a pain to deal with the burlap fibers shedding. Maybe just donate money directly to the World Food Program and get a cotton reusable sack?

I immediately passed out the link for my friends to make the donation to this great cause. When I received the bag in the mail a couple weeks later I immediately started using it to carry my items to work. It is great conversation piece as others commented on it. My teenage daughter likes the style of the bag. So, definately I would recommend this product to everyone. Helping others and continue to spread the word to help others with the bag is a great idea. It has been a great experience for me.

Overall the bag is excellent. The quality is acceptably good but more importantly the profit goes to help others in need and I feel good about it.

This is a great product - well constructed, money goes for a great cause, AND I take it with me everywhere in an effort to help save the planet by being more GREEN. (No plastic or paper bags when I go shopping!!!!!)
