NetFlorist Goes Green

Johannesburg, 7 July, 2009 - South Africa's premier online flower and gift delivery-company NetFlorist, has moved over to the green side and is now offering a range of eco-friendly gift options from recycled journals to trendy natural-fibre shopping bags.

Going green doesn't have to mean losing out on the fashion stakes with standard issue canvas bags. Instead, you can be stylish, fanciful and kind to the earth by using Envirosax eco-friendly bags. These sizeable totes are made from durable polyester and weigh almost nothing. They can be rolled up into a neat little pocket sized bundle that's secured with snap tabs. Best of all, they come in an assortment of colours and patterns, and in sets of five extraordinary designs packed in a small pouch. NetFlorist are offering the set for R399 as the perfect gift for the fashionable tree-hugger. Sling an Envirosax over your shoulder and be the envy of everyone, at the mall, or on the beach.

NetFlorist has rummaged through the world's green trends to come up with another winner. Ecojot is a beautiful range of Canadian-made 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper stationary, perfect for today's eco savvy user. The inks and glues are all vegetable-based, therefore bio-degradable, and no new trees were cut down to make the paper. The covers feature the funky, whimsical designs of co-founder Carolyn Gavis. NetFlorist is offering an Ecojot stationary set including two recycled notebooks and a set of 12 recycled pencils for R359.

NetFlorist intends to pursue its journey into the green market, sourcing products and gifts from around the world that people can feel good about buying and giving to their loved ones.

"Every conscious choice made can make a difference. We hope to play our part in encouraging consumers to make good choices with the environmentally friendly gift options available," says Sue Morris, Head of Marketing at NetFlorist.
