Customer Story

NAPS (Northumberland Assn. of Progressive Stewardship) is an environmental community group (see napsva.org), and one of our initiatives this year is to help citizens reduce or end the use of single-use grocery bags. Those bags use a lot of fossil fuels and water to produce, are used an average of 12 minutes, photo-degrade into smaller bits that are ingested by birds and land and sea creatures, and exacerbate flooding by clogging storm drains, ditches, and creeks...and they are very ugly! NAPS also conducts creek cleanups in our area and remove a lot of these nasty bags. We are giving away these reusable grocery bags at all of our events this year to help citizens get started – I find that these types of reusable bags can hold two to three times as much and last for years. I'm looking forward to seeing neighbors in the checkout aisle with our NAPS grocery bags with our slogan "Help save the Bay – Join NAPS today!"
