New Shopping Bags from old Banners!

Buy a great-looking, reusable nylon shopping bag and all profits will fund the development of new public green spaces around Commercial Drive. Available for $9.95, these shopping bags have nice, long handles so you can carry them on your shoulder. They are 12.25"W x 16.5"H x 2.5"D and available in 2 versions of 4 colours (with or without the hint of our Commercial Drive logo).

By converting our first 3 year's worth of banners (768 banners) into reusable nylon shopping bags rather than using new fabric, we have:

• avoided the equivalent of 10,588 pounds or 5.3 tons of CO2 emissions
• freed up 814 trees to capture and store CO2 from other sources for a full year
• avoided sending 192 kg (422.4 lb) of nylon to the landfill
• saved 38,184,960 BTUs of energy – enough to provide electricity to an average Vancouver home for over 15 months.
