How far has your bag travelled?

Since its inception in Ireland in 2000, the Green Bag has now spread to many countries and we are hopeful this will continue to grow. We have inquiries and comments spanning the globe, from Europe to Japan, America to Samoa. With the “How Far Has Your Bag Traveled?” piece we hope to highlight individuals out there who are using their Green Bag product in their native country or bringing it with them on holidays.

So we ask those of you who want to help us spread the initiative talk a snap of you and your Green Bag product together in as many places as you can. Please send your snaps to bagtraveller@greenbag.info including your name, postal address and the place where the shot was taken. Those who’s snaps get used will be sent some Green Bag product to thank them for their efforts. Keep the message passing and we can “Make a Difference” together in tackling the scourge of the single-use, plastic bag!
