You’re doing it!By purchasing and using over 1.3 million Reusable Bags last year, you kept over 14 million plastic bags out of landfills… Plus you used 2.2 million fewer paper bags at Freddy’s. That’s over 20 tons less waste sent to landfills in 2008 than in 2007. By making one small change in your routine, you really are helping make a big difference overall! Thank you! This is a big step toward helping reduce, and eventually eliminate, the use of plastic shopping bags in Fred Meyer stores.
One simple change, one big difference
Consider this - just one Fred Meyer Reusable Shopping Bag saves the equivalent
of three plastic bags every time you shop. Now consider how many groceries you buy and how many trips you make.
That adds up to about 400 plastic bags a year for the average family!
