Hey Chicos! You like the GG design I made? It was okay…but I know I can do better, and maybe you can too.

So here’s my challenge to you: design a cool poster that can help your local grocery store chain promote reusable bags! Or post the poster below. Then talk to the store manager and see if you can give them a hand (here’s some cool facts to tell them, too! Click here).

Check out this video of how Kids For a Cooler Planet in New Hampshire helped sell 20,000 reusable bags in their town! We’re taking it global, I tell you.

Hey, you can also talk to the store managers and see if they’ll let you design a cool “use-again” station for boxes.

Bag the Bag! We took care of the Hufflebot Bags, but there are still a lot of bags out there.

The best way to spread an action is to show an action. Always use reusable bags! Always re-use the ones you’ve already got. Then share the word with your friends, your parents, and even your Uncle Hank.

Then once you and your family are using them, you can spread the word even more!

Listen, Mate, there’s more than one way to get rid of needless waste.

Talk to your city council! Give them the straight facts or get creative!

Check out what one recent student bag monster did in Santa Monica. What he uncovers, he does undercover:

Hey. So look, there are a lot of bags out there already. Millions, even trillions of them. In trash heaps. And I know it will take people a while to get around to using reusable bags. Did you know the average family uses 1,000 plastic bags in a year? So sometimes I like to make a plastic bag ball! Our friends at ECOBAGS gave us this idea and I like it:

Get your friends together and scour the neighborhood. Ask your parents and their friends for their used plastic bags. They can be used plastic grocery bags or even those clear plastic bags from the store where you put your vegetables and fruit. Then you wind up each bag into a little rope, and tie it to another by making a little knot at the end. The goal is to get a thousand bag ball! Then tape on a list of facts on plastic bag waste, and show your friends how many bags the average family in America uses in one year. Ask your principal if you can put the bag on display in your school, or ask your local grocery store manager if you can put it in their store with a poster promoting reusable bags!There’s nothing better than making stuff with trash. Sometimes I have a ‘bag ball soccer’ game! Then send us a picture, and we’ll post it!
