Clean up the Earth - Instead of dumping garbage into landfills, rural Nepali women collect discarded chip bags, bottled water packaging, and cookie cases. After thoroughly cleaning the plastic, they slice it into strips and wind these strips around wild grasses called saru. By tying these recycled "straws" together with twine, they're able to mold trays, stools, and bowls. Good for people and the planet. Bowl has an 11'' diameter. 

Choose Durable Goods - This bowl is not made of flimsy paper or snap-able pencils. Fill it with oranges one day and pinecones the next - you don't have to worry about scratching or ripping the plastic. Or stuff it with pretzels and let the kids take it out to their playhouse for an afternoon snack. Cleaning up is a piece of cake - simply wipe it down with a wet rag. 

Support Impoverished Nepalis - Proceeds from the sale of these products goes to support a non-profit organization focused on providing primary care and community education to thousands of rural Nepalis. This initiative also provides valuable education about non-biodegradable “trash” and the importance of protecting the environment. A favorite Nepal Non-Profit.
