Reusable Bags: What's the big fuss?
There's an undeniable "go green" trend happening right now - from electric cars to new lightbulbs, everywhere you look there's a new way to help the environment. Supermarkets and stores across the country have hopped on the bandwagon and have started offering reusable bags instead of the one-use paper or plastic bags. Local governments took notice of the effects of plastic bags on the environment and there has been a steady increase in new laws and taxes on those one-use bags. Skeptics say that this is "just another trend." Environmentalists say we are not doing enough. The important factor for consumers to consider when making the change to go green is to make sure they are making a change for the better.
Mixed Bag Designs offers colorful reusable bags for every type of errand - from stocking up at the supermarket to taking out the recycling or compost. The best part? These lead-free, BPA-free reusable bags are made from recycled woven polypropylene - the same plastic used in yogurt containers - and can be recycled anywhere that accepts #5 plastics (the same place you recycle your yogurt cups or plastic food tubs), including Whole Foods locations across the country. The reusable shopping bags are also sturdy and durable, with some holding 50 lbs. easily and equipped with double shoulder straps for easy carrying.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
With a
reusable bag from Mixed Bag Designs, you know that you are not only reducing plastic usage by reusing the same bag every time you shop, you are also reusing recycled plastic. Pick out your favorite prints so you know you'll never leave home without your reusable bag!
School Fundraisers Go Green
School fundraisers across the country have looked to Mixed Bag Designs for a refreshing, new idea to raise money for their causes. Forget about unhealthy cookie dough or buying yet another roll of wrapping paper, many fundraisers recognized that they wanted to offer a responsible, attractive product that would get people excited about supporting their cause.
For the company, having the chance to help local schools, teams, clubs and organizations raise funds for their important causes is a powerful motivator to keep coming up with fun designs and eco-friendly solutions to your everyday life. The Mixed Bag Designs team sends out a brand new fundraiser catalog twice a year (in Fall and Spring) with all new prints, totes and products. We continually reinvent our line so team and
school fundraisers can offer a variety of new and unique products every year to raise money for their causes.
When you purchase a Mixed Bag Designs reusable bag for a fundraiser, not only are you doing your part to "go green," you're also helping to support that cause! It's a win-win for everyone and we couldn't be happier to be a part of it all!
