William McDonough – the acclaimed green
architect and visionary; IDEO – one of the
world’s most innovative design firms; Healthy

primary children’s environmental health
eco-advocacy non-profit and Rickshaw Bagworks –
a leading manufacturer and designer of sustainable urban bags.

last summer, and appropriate for both mom and dad, at www.weegeneration.com.
The bag is available for $200 and 100 percent of profits benefit Healthy
Child Healthy World.
“Wee Generation’s
eco-friendly diaper bag is an important development in consumer goods,”
said William McDonough, green architect and environmental designer. “The
initiative sets the pace for an environmentally-intelligent industry and
will continue to change how goods are created and repurposed going
forward.”
“The arrival of a baby brings many new
opportunities to seek cleaner, greener and safer lifestyle options,”
said Christopher Gavigan, CEO and Executive Director of Healthy Child
Healthy World. “Wee Generation wants to bring
children’s well-being and environmental
health to the forefront in easy, attainable ways for anyone overwhelmed
with the daily demands of parenting. This environmentally-friendly bag
is one effortless way to be a conscientious parent and keep your children’s
health and future in mind.”
