Handy Tips to Reduce the Consumption of Disposable Bags

  1. Start using reusable shopping bags. Find the right styles and designs to suit your taste and lifestyle. Take a look at our store for ideas. 
  2. Refuse a bag. Cashiers are programmed to keep the line moving and don't always stop to think or bother to ask if you need a bag. If you don't need one, don't take a one. 
  3. Reuse plastic bags you have accumulated as garbage liners. 
  4. Start using Ultra Compact bags. We love these since people tend to forget their bags when they go shopping - Ultra Compact bags are small enough to stash in your purse, jacket, backpack, car, etc. so one is always handy. 
  5. Use this form letter as a starting point to encourage stores to offer cash credits to customers who bring in their own bags. 
  6. Open your eyes to how many bags you consume: keep count. For instance, if you have a giant plastic bag holding plastic bags in your closet, take 5 minutes and count how many you have. (Ours had 323 and drove us to start this company!) OR, count how many plastic and paper bags you go through in a week. 
  7. Spread the word to wake up others. Make a statement with our Plastic Bags Blow bumper stickers, t-shirts, hats, etc. 
  8. Cut down on plastic produce bags by bringing your own reusable produce bags
  9. Create a safe, eco-friendly lunch kit with our wide range of smart reusable lunch bagsbottlesfood containerssandwich / snack bags, & utensils
