How to make BagShare bags and where to get the tags

All BagShare bags should have BagShare TAGS on them to help them stay in circulation. Be sure and fill out the tag and sew it on to the OUTSIDE OF THE BAG.
Our tags are available for you to use in your community BagShare project.

Tags measure 2.5" x 5". There are 18 tags per square. They are printed in assorted colors on a variety of scrap fabrics. If you'd like to purchase tags they are 15 cents each. One square of 18 is $2.70 (plus shipping). Just e mail Leni Fried at leni@lenifriedprintmaking.com or call (413) 634-5591

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.
