Timbuk2 is teaming up with a company called RootPhi to make bags out of, well, bags. Messenger bags out of discarded plastic shopping bags, that is. They call it Lamitron. I’m so totally signed up for the product update/tester wannabe list. As a Seattle bike-commuter, what could possibly be a better sounding option for carrying stuff around my own dear green-and-soggy city?

Also, I’m surprised I found this on my own, and that it hasn’t popped up on grist yet. Although I’m behind on my grist reading, so maybe it has.
