I am! And I'm super excited because my new Ecoist bag finally arrived yesterday! Michael gave me a blue one last year for our anniversary, and I use it every day. This year, he bought a confetti bag for me for Christmas and they accidentally sent the wrong style. He let me open it anyway and said he had already contacted the company about the mix up. They were really sweet and yesterday, I received the correct bag. Ecoist's candy wrapper line is full of colorful bags made out of misprinted labels that they collect from printing houses. This is keeping tons of material out of landfills, making awesome products, and planting trees (they plant a tree for each bag purchased).
They have many other flavors to check out including billboard bags (made from heavy duty movie posters), and soda can tab bags.

Sweet bag!
My favorite for recycled billboards is relan: http://www.relanbag.com/mainframe.html
dude. kelly, I'm in love. Thank you SO much for the link. I like that they are made in the US. I checked out eco-handbags too and their skateboard bags rock!
I have an ecoist bag! It's silver with a pink zipper.
Love it! How wonderful they plant a tree for each purchase, it is a two-for in environmentalism :)
Very cool. My six year old has decided that he wants to recycle trash into art and I can't wait to show this to him!
Great bag. dig those crazt colors!
That bag is completely fabulous!!! I'll have to check them out! :)
I love it! I can't believe that those are made out of misprinted labels. What a great use.
