If your local jurisdiction has not banned plastic grocery bags (like three of Hawaii’s five counties already do, the Big Island recently joining Maui and Kauai Counties, leaving only the City & County of Honolulu and _____ County* without a ban), trust us, it’s spreading.
Let it not be said that we left you unprepared. After all, hauling your groceries out of the store in a cardboard box, Costco style, is just plain undignified. Not to mention unwieldy.
So for a limited time, we are offering our readers our firm’s reuseable, 100%-from-recycled-materials-big-enough-to-carry-two-bags-of-groceries EnviroBag (photo above, and from another angle here). These blue bags are not your typical cheap recycle bags, but are made of a sturdy woven fiber and have a built-in floor piece. They are quite strong and will hold a ton of stuff.
But we’re not simply giving them away — you’ve got to earn it.
Not to worry, we don’t sponsor difficult contests: all you need do to “win” is drop us an email during the long holiday weekend (be sure to include your mailing address; we can’t beam swag to you, yet), and we will send you a bag. Just so we’re not mailing these blue bags out into the indefinite future, this offer ends at midnight, Christmas Day, December 25, 2011.
*Bonus prize: an extra bag to anyone who includes with their email the name of the fifth Hawaii county.
