Change the World
Each one of us can make a change that will help the world. By being mindful of what we leave behind, we can reduce the clutter and the litter and keep our landfills from poisoning our earth. By using our durable, insulated bags to carry either hot or cold groceries or other items, we won't need to use non-biodegradable plastic bags. Using one bag again and again instead of using plastic bags one time, we reduce the number of toxic bags that are thrown away. Help others help our earth! We can all help to change the world, one bag at a time.
Make a difference
Let us help you help your organization make a difference. Your non-profit organization has been affected—as we all have—by today's economy. By helping others, we can make a difference. We'll help your organization with a fundraiser that really does make a difference. Those who purchase our insulated bags from you will be helping your organization raise money and will also be helping our earth by using these bags for their groceries and their picnics. Instead of using plastic bags made of polyethylene—a petroleum product that contributes to air pollution and energy usage—they can re-use one of our bags each time they go shopping. Currently, 380 billion plastic bags are used in this country each year. When those who support your organization purchase a Bags BeCause bag, that will be one less plastic bag used each time they go shopping—a plastic bag that takes 1,000 years to biodegrade. By purchasing our insulated bags, they not only will be helping our world, but they will be helping your organization continue providing the services it offers. It's a win-win situation all around!
Go Green
recycle and fundraise
It's a sad fact, our world is quite literally being trashed. We've become a throw-away society, and instead of recycling paper products, most Americans tend to throw everything in the trash, leading to over-burgeoning landfills. Not only that, but not all that is thrown away is biodegradable. For instance, the plastic bags that are offered to us at the grocery stores—one of four to five trillion that are manufactured each year—are often thrown out with the trash. Those bags have toxic substances that seep into the ground soil, so not only do they take ten centuries to biodegrade, they are harming the earth we depend on. We can all go green instead! By providing our bags to your supporters for purchase, not only are they going green and helping Mother Earth, but they will also be helping your bottom line so that you can provide services to those who depend on you. Their purchase will help your organization, and using the bag will help our environment. By using Bags BeCause for your fund raising, we are helping others go green. We will all be helping the world.
