I Choose Reuse

Ed,

It’s very gratifying to see that our local supermarket sells durable, reusable, jute shopping bags with these very thoughtful words boldly printed on our supermarket’s reusable shopping bags “I CHOOSE REUSE.”

Today increasing numbers of Australian parents and grandparents are choosing to purchase more reusable, more sustainable, less wasteful products such as durable, reusable shopping bags, products ideally suited to a more sustainable world for their children and grandchildren.

Increasing numbers of Australia’s young children, school leavers, parents and grandparents now know that climate pollution is on the increase. And climate change is here to stay, unless we individually and collectively champion the decision to adequately address climate change now.

You may not be an Australian Olympic champion but buying and reusing a durable “I CHOOSE REUSE” shopping bag makes you an Australian champion for a more sustainable future world for Australian children.

So why not ask your major supermarket for a durable “I CHOOSE REUSE” shopping bag, for the answer from a market leader might surprise you?
