ECOBAGS® for GOOD™

I have recently been made aware of a great new program for fundraising by one of my favorite companies and I wanted to share it with all my readers. This is a great way to solve fundraising for the schools without making parents buy a ton of stuff they don’t use or want, it’s like throwing away money, and in this economy that just doesn’t work for me. I can only tolerate so much wrapping paper a year! Below is some information (taken from website) about this wonderful opportunity, ECOBAGS® for GOOD™:

What is ECOBAGS^® for GOOD^™?
We’re here to partner with schools, non-profits and member organizations to help you raise funds in a lucrative and environmentally-friendly way. If your organization encourages environmental sustainability (or wants to!), ECOBAGS^® totes and the other reusable products at ECOBAGS.COM are the perfect fundraising tools.

Why is ECOBAGS.COM offering this program?
Do your kids come home with fundraisers full of stuff you don’t want to buy – overpriced, poor quality items that you know will end up as landfill? Ours do! That’s why we created ECOBAGS^® for GOOD^™

Program benefits include:

• Learn. Do. Teach. By participating in this fundraiser your group LEADS everyone in the conversation about the three R’s of the environmental movement: REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE.
• Eco-Friendly Products: The products in this fundraiser replace items that are commonly thrown away or are harmful to the environment, such as plastic bags, plastic water bottles and vinyl lunch bags.
• Profitable: ECOBAGS^® for GOOD^™ will deliver $$ to your group while stimulating the conversation about the environment and the impact of individual actions.

ECOBAGS® is a great company and I have had the honor of hosting reviews and giveaways of their bags and I can tell you that this fundraising opportunity will give parents something that they can use. The bags are durable, lasting and made very well. I for one would rather have these bags that are not only great but are Eco-Friendly, then piles (and I have had some piles in my house) of unwanted, unused wrapping paper and bows. Definitely check this option out, you will love this alternative!
