Recycled wallets are too awesome and especially for promoting going green! You will get the one pictured but take some time to read whats behind this wallet:
There are an estimated 350,000 – 450,000 trash pickers in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.

Most trash pickers are undocumented and are living on a monthly income of about AUD$35 - 40 per family. Unlike valued “sanitation workers” in many other countries who have insurance, benefits, uniforms, decent salaries, vacations and enjoy social recognition, these migrant populations are “invisible” living off the droppings of our consumer habits.

Although we depend on their services to continually clean our surroundings, increasing consumer appetites have put an ever growing strain on the environment. Proper recycling is nonexistent in much of Southeast Asia while trash pickers look for items that can be sold for recycling for their fragile incomes.

A project in austrailia called xsaustralia buys the trash from the trash pickers and sustains them with a steady income. Using the trash, artesians make wallets and purses. Not only is this fabulous wallet a unique piece unlike any other but it directly helps the poor in Indonesia. Maybe this will inspire you to think next time you throw something away, donate to a charity, and waste less.
