FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., April 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northwest Arkansas based habitotes is celebrating Earth Day 2009 with the launch of their new website, www.habitotes.com. The site features information on habitotes, which are environmentally friendly, reusable totes. Each tote, made of 5 recycled clear plastic water bottles, replaces the use of 3-4 plastic shopping bags and can carry up to 25 lbs. The totes can be customized with sponsor ads, promotions and logos to promote businesses and events.
"Our promise is to find better uses for the world's waste stream by creating products that are both useful and ecologically responsible," said Greg Sparrow, of habitotes. "Plastic bags exact a huge toll on the environment. Their production drains our already dwindling supplies of nonrenewable petroleum and it takes 12 million barrels of oil to produce the amount of plastic bags the United States uses per year. This is where habitotes can step in and help reduce not only the amount of waste in our landfills, but also our dependence on oil and petroleum products."
The company's slogan "Good for the earth. Great for your brand," highlights the fact that habitotes offers businesses, festivals, schools and trade shows a way to get their message out while helping consumers to be proactive with the choices they make and contributing to consumer demand for more and better earth-friendly products that fit easily in their day-to-day lives. "habitotes are an opportunity to make a small change in daily life that, over time, means great things for the Earth," said Sparrow.
