Release Summary: Eco-friendly reusable bag makes great gift and
gift wrap for every holiday
Press
Release Body: CHICO, CA (November 26, 2007) – With the holidays
upon us, ChicoBag, a leading green business, has
an ideal solution for consumers interested in truly making the season
“evergreen.”ChicoBags are
reasonably priced, lightweight-yet-sturdy reusable shopping bags
that stuff into their own self-contained pouch. They are available
in a variety of colors suitable for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa
celebrations and can be carried in a pocket, clipped to a key ring,
or tossed into a purse. Their unique design is not only eye-catching,
but highly convenient.
When
compressed in the pouch, their compact size of 3 x 4 inches makes
them ideal stocking-stuffers, and a gift with utility long after
the holiday season has passed. Opened to their full size, they can
be utilized as a holiday “stocking” and filled with
up to twenty pounds of goodies; or they can be cleverly wrapped
and tied around gifts as an environmentally friendly alternative
to disposable holiday wrap. Each ChicoBag provides
years of usage and when they fulfilled their lifespan, they can
be mailed back to the company where they will be recycled into items
such as dog begs, prayer flags, and welcome mats.
As
disposable bag ban legislation spreads across the
United States and global warming remains a key issue in the minds
of consumers, many are seeking convenient solutions for how they
can contribute to the effort of restoring our environment.
ChicoBags allow consumers a “no excuses” solution
for eliminating their disposable bag consumption, and a convenient
way to reduce the 300-700 disposable bags the average American consumer
uses each year. The bags represent a simple solution to an enormous
problem. Their regular use can result in saving 14 million trees
annually and the lives of countless wildlife which ingest toxic
bits of photodegrading plastic bags in landfills and waterways.
ChicoBag
has been a VIP goodie bag provider at a host of high profile
events including The Black Eyed Peas' Peapod Foundation A.P.L. Benefit,

DiCaprio, Patrick Dempsey, Liv Tyler, Juliet Binoche, Susan Sarandon,

bags.
