Eco friendly shopping bags - plastic bags banned

Ladner village (Delta BC) is looking at ways to become an eco friendly community.

Tofino is looking at a plastic bag tax as a way to reduce plastic in the landfill.

Leaf Rapids, Manitoba banning plastic bags.

Ireland has a plastic bag levy since 2002 and reduced use by 90%.

It will take a desire from businesses to offer alternatives and a desire from customers to consider how they can make a difference.

The promotional products industry for years has been selling custom imprinted tote bags which will be reusable and which will carry the logo / message of the supplier.

These have always been a good promotion tool. Imagine your name, logo and message being carried to the shopping mall, packed with goods, taken home, unpacked and put back in the car for the next trip. These could last literally forever. People will also develop their favourite bag. Just like ladies have their favourite purse.

How do you want to be seen? Like you're doing something to help? or like you don't care?

Call for pictures of bags and pricing for imprinting of logo and message.

If we all do a little bit more every day to improve our environment, we all benefit.

Thanks for being part of the solution while showing a way for people to promote themselves while demonstrating eco friendly behavior.
