Welcome to SayYesToCanvas.com, a pit stop on your way to becoming environmentally conscious. The average American goes shopping more than 100 times per year, which is more than 100 occassions to drive up costs and destroy the environment. Not only do paper bags contribute to the deforestation of rain forests, but they also end up being a major contributer to the waste in landfills. Plastic bags are cheaper for shopping centers and stores to use, but cost the environment more. Plastic is hard to recycle and is not biodegradable, which puts a larger strain on landfills and recycling centers.
By making a few small steps, though, you can do your part to help the environment and make a better future for yourself and generations to come. Using canvas bags helps the environment in several ways; because they are reusable, less rain forest is cut away to meet the demand for paper shopping bags. Also, the landfills are less populated with paper and plastic waste when you use canvas. Lastly, and most importantly, the more than 100 times you shop every year represent more than 100 opportunities for you to send a message. By using canvas bags, you become an advertisment for the environment, spreading your influence to other shoppers, store employees, friends, and family.
Sayyestocanvas.com has replaced protest signs and banners with fashionable and practical shopping bags. Join the non-partisan effort to improve the environment, and shop responsibly. Each bag has the Say Yes to Canvas logo and slogan on the back, so spreading the word is easy for you and for us.
