This Week's Green Home Special:
Reusable, Recyclable Bags for Earth Day - 5 for $20 at Green Home!

Times are tough but going green doesn't have to be. Help your friends and family prepare for this Earth Day April 22nd by giving them the gift of a reusable bag. This week only, buy 4 and get one free - that's 5 bags for only $20!

Just the small act of choosing a reusable bag over a plastic bag makes a world of difference. Nationally, we consume about 100 billion plastic shopping bags every year. Plastic shopping bags are not biodegradable. Instead, they break down into tiny, toxic particles that contaminate our soil and water. Worse yet, they can take 1,000 years to break down.

Paper bags aren't necessarily a better option. In America alone, fourteen million trees were cut in 1999 to produce the ten billion paper grocery bags used. Paper bags create 50% more air pollution and 50 times more water pollution than plastic bags. One ton of recycled paper can save 13 to 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 4,000 kilowatts of energy and 7,000 gallons of water.

So, make the choice! These grocery shopping tote bags are 100% eco-friendly non-woven polypropylene, making the bags water repellant, resistant to corrosion and hand washable. Each tote bag holds the equivalent load of 3-4 plastic bags or 2 paper bags. What's more, 5 bags can hold the entire contents of your completely filled shopping cart! Each bag also has a removable bottom stabilizer that protects your groceries.

These bags are lightweight, durable, recyclable and reusable. Make the eco-friendly switch today!

Greenfully,
