One of the most immediate ways you can impact the environment is by reducing your usage of plastic bags. Plastics bags are everywhere with as many as 1 trillion bags being used each year, 380 billion of which are used and discarded in the United States.
With so many plastic bags being manufactured, used and thrown away every year, the environmental impact is enormous. Disposable bags do not biodegrade. They are made with millions of barrells of oil. They break down into toxic bits that poison water and animal life. There is even a huge patch of floating plastic trash that has been discovered spiraling in the Pacific Gyre thousands of miles from any coastline. The list can go on and on but the point is, something needs to be done to improve this situation.
With that in mind, we offer you our Dodo Bag Fundraiser. Fashionable, fun, and environmentally friendly, these bags are made from unbleached cotton canvas allowing them to carry up to 40 pounds. And, they are manufactured right here in the USA reducing the energy associated with shipping them from overseas making them of the most Green Fundraising ideas that you will find anywhere.
Don’t let the funny name fool you, these reusable shopping bags are very durable. They are called Dodo Bags to bring to mind the Dodo bird which was forced into extinction very quickly by the actions of man. When you do a Dodo Bag reusable shopping bag fundraiser, it is important to remind people just how profound an impact we can all have on this beautiful and fragile planet of ours.
Our Dodo Bags are not only great about reducing the amount of plastic bag waste but a portion of the proceeds from every bag sold goes to protecting a number of endangered species.
It is completely free to start a DoDo Bag Fundraiser. We provide you with full color brochures printed on recycled paper, cash collection envelopes, and a coordinator kit to keep all of your fundraising information organized.
