getting people to use recycled bags
getting people to use recycled bags
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
I would like to see reusing recycled canvas bags with a logo on bag. Getting people smart about saving the planet by bringing their proud recycled canvas bags to their supermarket and showing that we care.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I would start a website therecyclebag.com and use money to have a stock of canvas, insulated bags that people can pick with their own personal statement or logo and make the world change for the better.
Vote for it now.
Nice idea, but I think the big problem is that it's still inconvenient to bring your own bags, not just because you have to bring the bag(s), but also because grocery stores have people to bag your groceries and you're upsetting the process. Some people complain about stores where you have to bag your own groceries, but it's common in Europe and you don't have to worry about explaining to the person bagging or worry about whether your bags are a good fit for their setup. Stores have to change their approach to make it more convenient and commonplace for people to bring their own bags, otherwise I don't think it'll catch on.
What about using a sustainable fiber such as hemp or bamboo thread to make the bags?
we americans eat a lot and we stock up at places like costco and priceclub. can we really be expected to do all of our grocery shopping with one canvas bag??
