S
ome of our big chain supermarkets
will soon stop offering free disposable
plastic bags to shoppers in NSW,
Victoria, Queensland and in Western
Australia from the end of June.
Did you know: On average, one family
accumulates 60 plastic bags in only four
trips to the grocery store. Plastic bags
can take hundreds of years to degrade,
releasing particles of toxic chemicals into
our soil and water, polluting our planet and
harming living organisms.
One way we can help to eliminate the use
of plastic bags and help the environment is
our Reusable Grocery Bag with BacLock®.
This reusable carry-all bag is the right size
for a trip to the grocery store and strong
enough to hold all your fruit, vegetables and
other food staples.
6
WAYS TO
REMEMBER YOUR
REUSABLE BAGS
1. Keep your bags on a hook near your front
door so you’ll see them.
2. Keep one set of bags in the boot of your car
and one in your house – one is for walking
and one is for driving shopping trips. (Just
don’t forget to put your car set back in the
car.)
3. Purchase (or make your own) bag that you
can roll up and store in your purse.
4. Put a big reminder sign on the inside of your
front door (or on a bulletin board near the
door). “Remember Your Bags!”
5. Leave at least one bag on the passenger
seat of your car as a visual reminder.
6. When you get to the store and get your
trolley, make sure you have a bag to put into
it. If you forgot, go back and get it. Next time,
you’ll be more likely to remember!
