- Did you know U.S. consumers use an estimated 100 billion plastic shopping bags each year – 99% of which are never recycled?
- Reusable shopping bags reduce the number of plastic bags in the environment. One less bag makes a difference.
- Giant Food Stores and Martin’s Food Markets sell a reusable shopping bag in all of our stores for an affordable 99 cents.
- Customers can find the bags on racks approaching the checkout, at the self-checkout and next to the cashier in each of the checkout aisles.
- Reusable grocery bags are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and water-repellent. Also lightweight, hand washable and resistant to corrosion.
- A single reusable bag can hold more than three plastic bags’ worth of groceries, significantly cutting down on the approximately 900 plastic bags the average American household uses in one year.
- Many shoppers find them easier to carry because of their sturdy handles. Each bag also has a square bottom that won’t easily tip over in the car.
- Make a change today and help sustain tomorrow. |
