PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE BAGSHARE'S IMPACT:
The Creamery used 49,000 paper bags annually.
Since Earth Day of 2008 they became disposable bag free!
The offer the customer reused cardboard boxes or bag share bags when they forget their own. They have saved $5000 per year and 70, 15 year old trees per year.

It takes a 15 year old tree to produce 700 grocery bags.
