A Day Without a Bag — December 20th
Our holiday gift to the environment! Join thousands of shoppers in L.A. County in giving up disposable bags in favor of reusable totes for 24 hours.
Los Angeles County residents use 6 billion plastic bags each year and recycle only 5% of that total. Instead, they become part of the plastic-dominated litter stream, putting added pressure on scarce landfill, fouling our public spaces, degrading already weakened watersheds and threatening marine life.
Help reduce plastic bag usage this holiday season — and year-round — with the A Day Without a Bag campaign!
1. BYOB
Show your support for A Day Without a Bag by shopping exclusively with reusable totes. Join us on Thursday, December 20th at participating retail locations (see sidebar at right) to receive a free reusable bag.
If you miss the free giveaway, you can purchase reusable bags online (see "Buy Reusable Bags" sidebar at right). Then, make it a habit to BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) when shopping anywhere, anytime!
2. Get Informed
Discover why we should make every day A Day Without a Bag. Come to one of our bag giveaway sites and find out how to reduce plastic bag consumption and adopt sustainable practices year-round, or learn more now (see "Learn More" sidebar at right).
3. Spread the Word!
