Ideas & Facts to Help Start a Consistent Reusable Bad Habit

LEARN THE FACTS:
The average American uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year
  • If everyone in the United States tied their annual consumption of plastic bags together in a giant chain, the chain would reach around the Earth not once, but 760 times!
  • According to the American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.
  • Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photo-degrade—breaking down into small toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food-chain when mistaken for zooplankton or jellyfish.
 
SHARE THE VISION:
  • Following an inspiring trip to the local landfill, Andy Keller, founder of ChicoBag set an intention to help humanity kick the wasteful single-use bag habit.
  • The solution was an Affordable Reusable Bag that is literally Unforgettable.
  • Traditional reusable bags are bulky and often left at home.  ChicoBag was created to help the average American adopt a healthy reusable bag habit.
  • ChicoBags are made of machine washable and durable nylon because they are designed to fit in a pocket or purse.  They also have a hook for a keychain.  As a result, they are used more often, helping significantly reduce single-use bag waste.
  • ChicoBag has a recycling program for expired ChicoBags so you can feel good about supporting ChicoBag.
