GreenSmart ~ It’s in the Bag! {Review & Giveaway #5}
GreenSmart is a company that strongly values being green smart through all aspects of their business from design and materials to manufacturing and shipping. They believe even the smallest changes add up and try to be proactive in ways in which they use our planet’s resources. They are very passionate about what they do!
Are you familiar with the term neogreen? In essence it is a water based chemistry that allows for water based adhesives that still provides the squishy and smooth material with a little bit of stretch, using 25% less electricity and 25% less petroleum to produce. Best part? No toxins!
I was sent their GreenSmart neogreen laptop sleeve and I was very excited to try it out since can you believe I didn’t have any kind of laptop bag or sleeve? In my defense my laptop is newer but it is certainly a damper on portability without one.
The GreenSmart neogreen laptop sleeve will help your laptop cool down faster and with a specially designed gusset and mess interior help the laptop breathe! How cool is that? Of course it is waterproof so no need to worry about spills and the walls of the sleeve are 4mm for great protection but minimal weight.
When I first placed my laptop in the sleeve I wasn’t sure it would fit. By the time I started bringing the two heavy duty zippers around I noticed the fabric was stretchy and instead of not fitting, it fit my laptop like a glove! I love how soft the material is and it definitely keeps my laptop extra protected. I also like the black and green color combination.
As a nice added touch, attached to the tag is a lost and found sticker for you to put your contact information in case by some chance you are unfortunate enough to misplace it.
Multiple sizes are available from a netbook which retails for $25 up to a 17″ for $40. Just be sure to measure your laptop to make sure it will fit. A handy size chart is included on the product page.
Buy it: You can purchase this sleeve and other GreenSmart products from Amazon

I have your botton on my blog.
I read how bottles become bags. very interesting. NC just passed a law (that is very hard to enforce but I think is great) that no plastic bottles are to be thrown away in dumps.
Hi there!
I learned from the GreenSmart site that they sort PET (plastic type #1), commonly used in water bottles, and turn it into fabric products. How cool is that!?!
(And that said yucky thrown-out PET plastic fills up the Rose Bowl in CA in about 2 weeks if we are so lazy as to not try and recycle it.)
Thanks so much for the cool giveaway!
Leigh
the fact that they’re made from water bottles!! how cool!!
