Our organization is founded by a lifelong entrepreneur and environmentalist, who has accepted this challenge to make a significant contribution to our environment - and we need your help to get this project launched!
Plastic in the ocean is not a "new" subject - but
bags are particularly dangerous for all of our marine life, and us...ultimately.
A report published last month warns that there will be more
plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050 -
The New Plastics Economy - 120 pages
It is encouraging to see some cities completely banning the
use of commonly used "T-shirt bags" - but they are very
few, and far between.
Many forces are at play here and working against the removal
of these from our environment, including BIG OIL (did you know these
bags are made out of petroleum?) plus both retailers and customers
alike are slow to change - and even unwilling.
What it may take is an ingenious idea by a well-heeled
entrepreneur who understands the nuances of marketing to a broad
audience, and what it takes to change ingrained patterns and
well-established mindsets.
Offering people incentives such as monetary rewards and
time-saving benefits can provide the necessary impetus to accomplish
this goal, and effect real change.
We have developed a comprehensive marketing plan which
addresses the needs of the consumer, retailer, and their local
businesses who will have the opportunity to provide good quality
reusable bags for use - FREE to users.
The consumers will be gifted with free bags from their
favorite grocer, and have the incentive to bring them back - because
it will provide them with the current weekly special...only if they
have it.
When they receive the bags, they will also be
encouraged to sign up for email delivery of the weekly ad paper -
thereby helping the environment through paper reduction and also
offering the grocer savings on bags and advertising.
Would you want to use a FREE bag, that saves you money every
time you use it?
Would a grocer like to save money and create
loyal repeat business?
Do advertisers like walking billboards
with multiple impressions?
With your generous contribution, we will be able to
1) activate our Nationwide sales-force and equip them with
the necessary tools
2) purchase our own printing equipment which will help keep
costs down
3) roll-out our comprehensive marketing plan, with staff to
service all requests
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE...
