What's your answer to "paper or plastic?" How about, "No thanks!"
If every American consumer brought their own reusable bags when shopping, we'll cut more than a billion pounds of CO2 this month - that's the equivalent of taking 1.3 million cars off the road!
Pledge to "Bring Your Own Bag" this month and make a big impact with a simple action!
When you bring you own reusable bag to the store, you:
Save wildlife: Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, birds, whales, and other marine mammals die every year from eating plastic bags mistaken for food.
Save trees: It takes 14 million trees to make all of the paper bags the U.S. uses in one year.
Reduce waste: An estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year globally - enough to circle the earth 63 times tied end to end!
Reduce our dependence on oil: About 12 million barrels of oil are required to make the 100 billion plastic shopping bags used in the U.S. each year.
Pledge today to "Bring Your Own Bag" and pass the word along. You could win a $5000 Live, Learn, and Experience Climate Change Prize from Brighter Planet, which includes a commuter bike and a trip for two to gorgeous (but rapidly melting) Glacier National Park, or one of 27 other great prizes.
Thanks for making a difference today!

Thanks posting about the C3 challenge and letting people know about the negative effects of plastic bags! I work for Brighter Planet, the company giving away the grand prize for the BYOB contest and I definitely believe that the small changes we make to our lifestyle really add up. Don’t know if you checked our site out, but we just launched a credit card that helps build renewable energy projects each time someone spends on their card — another good way to take responsibility for the purchases we make. I’d like to give you an invite to some upcoming online events, would you mind sending me a contact e-mail so i can be in touch?
Thanks again!
