On our trek through the Sierra Nevada mountains in Colombia, one of our fellow trekkers pulled out his wallet when we said we both had worked for Tetra Pak. He proudly showed us the "Protects Whats Good" logo on his home made wallet. Well, what do you know. A wallet made from a 1L TBA package that used to contain soup. Max is from France and has been trekking the Americas for a few months. Unfortunately his backpack got stolen along with his wallet. Being on a backpacker's budget, a friend of his offered to make him a new wallet and grabbed an empty package. He cut and folded and voila. No tape or glue required. What a clever way to reuse a package. I think I'd like mine to be made out of a used wine package. :-)
