Laptop Sleeves for College/ Older Students
Caring for your digital equipment with kindness is vital for the well-being of the planet. The average CO2 emissions during the production of a new laptop are estimated at 331 kilograms. While the carbon footprint per laptop usage varies from brand to brand, the average usage of 8 hours per day is estimated to be between 32 kgCO2eq and 91 kgCO2eq. In a perfect world, we would be free of digital devices for the prosperity of the planet. But in an age when paperless notes for a greener planet are among the top sustainability agendas, fully eliminating the use of laptops is not possible. The next best thing to make up for the emission from our electronic devices (even for owning one) is to take care of them and use it for a long time. One of the best ways to protect your laptop is by using a laptop sleeve, and choosing laptop sleeves made with natural material like organic cotton is a green way to go. Vibrant laptop sleeves from Terra Thread exude, "I'm tech-savvy but eco-conscious at the same time." Plus, sliding laptops in large bags are a bother for most people.
Using a laptop sleeve allows for a perfect fit and also offers protection from the extra padding. One would also worry less knowing the laptop is well-secured even when placed inside a larger backpack. With Terra Thread's eco-friendly laptop sleeves, you get all the traditional benefits plus an additional bonus in the form of a front zippered pocket to hold smaller items such as chargers, keys, and phones. Sizes are available for 13 and 15 inch-Macbooks and Windows. There is also a design that comes with handles, in case a laptop is the only essential you plan to carry around!
