The real Housewives of Cupang County (HCC): What's new at ECHOstore

I love ECHOstore. I gave a lot of their organic/free-trade/environmentally-friendly products out to friends last Christmas. We should support more initiatives like this -- if only they had a store in the Alabang / HCC area!

I regularly get their e-newsletter and here's a great new line of products now available at ECHOstore:

ECHOstore recently launched a new line of products called Second Life. Focused on supporting the environment, these products are made from old, discarded, or unused items. The items are recycled, redesigned, and recreated into new functional products, and literally given a “second life.” Second Life supports home livelihood to assist in poverty alleviation, women empowerment, and dignity of life.

The product line started with the donation of used tarpaulins from Rupert Salas (of Rupert’s Signs & Display Services), one of the country’s biggest billboard suppliers. He sent over tons and tons of misprinted tarpaulins and banners to ECHOstore, and wanted us to find good use for it.

Here are some of the items developed from the used tarpaulins:
