Minnesota Grocers Association Offers Reusable Bags
The Minnesota Grocers Association is offering customers free, reusable grocery bags and encouraging them to add green to their routine.
The statewide effort, fueled by a partnership between the Minnesota Grocers Association and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, plans to distribute 10,000 reusable bags and inform consumers about how they can reduce waste and protect the environment.
Consumers may request a free reusable bag by completing a brief and confidential survey online at www.mngrocers.com.
The brown, handled bags, which are made of an environmentally-friendly canvas-like material, fold up and button closed, making them portable and easy to store. They’re also strong enough to handle heavy groceries. Grocers also are providing consumers with helpful tips for integrating reusable bags into their routines.
For example:
- Store your reusable bag in your purse or glove box so you don’t forget it.
- Don’t use just one. If you need multiple bags for shopping, you can purchase them at minimal cost from most grocers.
- Reusable bags will carry more than groceries. Take them to the pharmacy, department store or discount retailers.
- Use them at your next sporting event or trip to the library.
For additional information about the campaign or to request a bag, visit www.mngrocers.com.
Supplies are limited.
This offer is available to Minnesota residents only.
