I'm trying to plan a little trip to Ikea before their summer sale ends on July 8th. While checking their web site site I was reminded of their "Bag the Plastic Bag" campaign:
Please join IKEA in reducing waste and "Bag the Plastic Bag"!
IKEA is asking our customers to join us in reducing plastic bags usage by 50% - from 70 million to 35 million in the first year. Beginning March 15th, we will charge 5 cents for every "throw-away" plastic bag. All proceeds* from the first year of this program will be donated to American Forests, the nation's oldest non-profit conservation organization, to plant trees and offset CO2 emissions. WHY? The amount of plastic shopping bags that we all use once and toss is overwhelming.- The average family of 4 accumulates 1460 plastic shopping bags a year- 100 billion are given away each year in the US- Plus it can take up to 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down in the environment.REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE! IKEA has a great alternative to "throw-away" plastic bags- the IKEA Blue Bag. We've reduced the price on this large, reusable and durable bag to 59 cents. One of these bags can replace hundreds of "throw-away" plastic bags and has lots of great uses! I have been tryin' !!!!
