Bring Your Own Bag, The New BYOB!

Did you know that simply by using a reusable bag you can cut your carbon imprint? You’ll also begin to make a dent in the waste and pollution that sees 12 million barrels of oil and 14 million trees wasted each year to make plastic and paper bags.

Most plastic bags are made from polyethylene, which is made from crude oil and natural gas, nonrenewable resources. This increases our dependency on foreign suppliers. Additionally, prospecting and drilling for these resources contributes to the destruction of fragile habitats and ecosystems around the world.

So this December we’re asking you to do something simple to make a difference—just Bring Your Own Bag when you go shopping. Take the Carbon Conscious Consumer pledge, keep the ecosystem clean and healthy and you'll also get a chance at a terrific prize!

Each month from July to December, Carbon Conscious Consumer (c3.newdream.org) will highlight a new, simple way each individual can make an impact, plus show the difference each person makes both individually and along with the people they’ve influenced; prizes go to participants who influence the most new pledges.

During December, make a conscious choice to Bring Your Own Bag. In addition to benefiting the environment, participants will have a chance to win a $5000 prize package from Brighter Planet. Visit the website now to get started.
