The poor woman bag

Whenever you buy a so called "secret" item, for instance medicine or female pads, they use these types of paper bags.

At first I didn't think much of it, until I read an article about these bags.  They are handmade by poor women who use old magazines and sit on street corners here and there. So they make their living on this trade.

It is a great story of recycling and putting people to work. I always think of these women when I see one of these bags.
