Results from all FETCHers:

This Week:

98 FETCHers each brought home an average of 45 bags.

If all these kids brought home just 1 fewer bag, FETCHers would keep 98 fewer bags from going into landfills in just one week.

So, how can you keep from bringing home so many bags?

• If you can carry your things without a new bag, just say you don't need one.
• BRING reusable bags when you go to the store or re-use the ones you got the last time you went shopping!
• Ask your family and friends to try reusable bags when they go to the store too!
• Get your friends and family to join this challenge!

You want to do even MORE?

• Ask store managers if they would set up a credit system for customers who bring their own bags instead of using the paper or plastic bags from the store.
• Organize a community clean-up committee to pick-up plastic bags from your neighborhood and recycle them.
