Earth Day: Design Your Own Bag

This isn’t wine related, per se, but I think we can loosely tie it to food, and definitely tie it to Earth Day on Saturday.

Have you noticed (or purchased) an eco-friendly shopping bag from your local grocery store?  I know we’ve purchased some from both Kroger & Remke’s. We even bought holiday themed ones at Christmas and wrapped our gifts in them. Of course, although Kevin & I love the idea of these bags, it doesn’t mean we’re not constantly forgetting them either at home or in the car.

Kroger is launching a "green" initiative online. You can design your own reusable shopping bag in a new contest. If your bag design wins based on online votes, you could win a $500 gift certificate to Kroger. In addition, if you submit your Kroger plus card number when you submit your design, you’ll receive a free reusable bag the next time you visit a store.

Find some free time today and design a bag! The more bag designs the better – and happy Earth Day this weekend!
