2010 HALLOWEEN CHICOBAG 3 Styles to Choose From


ChicoBag~Original~Halloween~Reusable Shopping Bag with Integrated Stuff Sack. Carry in your purse or pocket.

       

ChicoBag is having a Halloween Bag design contest for children 1-13 years old. When you purchase a Halloween bag I will send you an entry form along with your purchase. Contest ends 11/5/10.

       

Trick or treaters can now put the “eek” into their eco-friendly celebration by toting ChicoBag’s™ 2010 reusable Trick-or-Treat bag. ChicoBag™ realized there was no one better to create our annual Halloween bag design than the user. We decided to hold a contest for the best green-spirited Halloween design and invited students nationwide to participate.
       
This year’s design was inspired by Gracie Gralike and is available with two different pouch options; a bat pouch or a pumpkin pouch. In addition to last year’s winning design, there is also a Jack-o-Lantern design printed on an orange bag.
       
All three designs are featured on our Original ChicoBag brand reusable bag, providing trick-or-treaters plenty of room for their goodies!
       
The ChicoBag™ design contest is co-sponsored by Green Halloween, a grassroots movement that is helping families and communities nationwide start new, healthier holiday traditions. Submissions are being taken until October 31, 2010. What’s even sweeter? 10% of the sale of each bag will be contributed to Treeswing, the organization making Green Halloween (and other great initiatives) possible!
       
25 pound capacity.
Hooks to your key chain or belt loop
Easily fits into your pocket or purse.
1 year Limited Warranty.
       
LEARN THE FACTS & STOP SINGLE-USE BAG WASTE
The average American uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year.
If everyone in the United States tied their annual consumption of plastic bags together in a giant chain, the chain would reach around the Earth not once, but 760 times!
       
According to the American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.
       
Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photo-degrade—breaking down into small toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food-chain when mistaken for zooplankton or jellyfish.
       
*Materials: Made of durable woven polyester. Our fabric allows for easy opening and stuffing. No special folding is required.
*Designed to be unforgettable!
*Integrated Pouch measures approximately 3” by 4”.
*The ChicoBag measures approximately 18” by 14.5” when un-stuffed 1.5 oz
*Machine washable cold, hang to dry.
       
ChicoBags are manufactured by a fair labor, fair wage manufacturing company in China. This allows us to make adopting a reusable bag habit affordable for the majority. Through our interactions and friendships, we believe that we are making a positive environmental and social impact in Asia.
       
Each ChicoBag comes with a one year warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material and workmanship. During this period, The ChicoBag Company will repair or replace, at our discretion the defective product. Under no circumstances will the buyer be entitled to consequential or incidental damages.
       
ChicoBag has a recycling program for expired ChicoBags so you can feel good about supporting us. Expired ChicoBags will be repurposed into door mats, dog beds and prayer flags.

Bird Wind Chimes – Set of 3 Fair Trade
       


Little Bird Wind Chimes Set of 3 hand-carved and hand-painted wood birds with dangling metal chimes. Made in Bali.

Size: 3 1/4 in. l x 1 1/2 in. w x 5 in. h

A non-governmental, non-profit organization, the Mitra Bali Foundation acts as a market and export facilitator for small craft producers. These small producers represent the diverse Balinese culture that attracts tourism to the area, but because they live in more remote areas and work on a small scale, haven’t benefited by the economic influx of the tourism industry. To counter the marginalization of these producers, Mitra Bali works with around 100 producer groups employing over 1,000 men and women to help them in marketing their products and improve their working conditions.

In addition to marketing assistance, Mitra Bali also has a Design Center where producers can access resources, work with designers, and get regular training on new trends, technical aspects of production and health and safety, as well as the use of environmentally sustainable resources within the production process. As a fair trade organization, Mitra Bali’s work with artisans is based on principles of benefit, equity and respect.

       

EcoExpress creates natural and organic gifts that are unique, memorable and high quality. You can send beautiful gifts and support the environment with our wide assortment of earth friendly gourmet, spa and rainforest green gift baskets.
