The online store Poketo (which I'll disclose, I'm a fan of) hit us with a press release for new "Recycled Street Banner Bags", which let's all be honest, are recycled advertisements. While I'm all for recycling and think that this is a far-better place to put these banners than into a land-fill, I feel wrong about taking unneeded visual pollution and turning it into a commodity.

I applaud the designers of the bags and hope that the project will use its popularity to push for a reduction in our creation of waste in the first place.

For now, I'll point you all towards The Story of Stuff yet once again.
