Greener Footprints is calling on all Canadians to help reduce plastic bag use!
It’s easy! Choose to make a difference!
By making a few simple changes we can stop plastic bags from filling up our landfills, blocking our drains and creeks, and harming our wildlife.
The focus of Greener Footprints is to enable customers and retailers to reduce the number of plastic bags handed out at the cash register.
If you’re a customer… It’s easy – just say NO to plastic bags when you go shopping. Take your own reusable bags and use them at every place you shop.
If you’re a retailer… Join our campaign and make your store plastic-bag free! It’s simple and inexpensive to make the change. It will even save you money. We can show you how.
Greener Footprints is currently working with several communities across Canada, including Rossland, Squamish, Pemberton, Whistler, Canmore, Gabriola Island, and Revelstoke to reduce plastic bag use. Do you think your town could go plastic bag free? Join our campaign!
