The winners of the bottles 2 bags contest have been randomly chosen and contacted. Congratulations to Jeff Mayo, who won first place and the olive tote bag, and womenslegal, who won second place and the storm blue shoulder pouch! I have given them 48 hours to respond with their addresses or new winners will be contacted.

I received my Act2 GreenSmart bags on Friday, and they are great! I got the olive horizontal messenger bag, and the storm blue shoulder pouch (same as the one in the contest!). The colors are super vibrant and the quality is great. Unfortunately, I can't use the messenger bag because it's HUGE! I'd still recommend it, though, it's great for organizing as it has lots of pockets, and it looks great. The storm blue shoulder pouch is adorable, and I am definitely keeping it! You'd be surprised at how many pockets they can fit into a little bag ;) All the bags come with a sticker inside telling you how may bottles were used in its making, how much energy was saved and how long you can power a laptop on that energy. Pretty neat, I think. The tag attached to the bag is even printed on recycled paper with vegetable inks.

So, congrats to the winners, and if you didn't win, go buy your bags now!

Minor Meltdown of the Century
I just had the minor meltdown of the century. Focus Organic has been returning some strange 404 errors every once in awhile for certain readers, and I've been trying to figure out the problem for some time now. I decided I'm sick of trying everything, so I backe…
More Than Just Beer
Happy 21st birthday to my brother! I was going to write about organic beer today, so I was surprised to see a guest post written about conversion of beer into fuel! If you're still interested in organic beer, here's the link to buy an organic beer sampler set.
