A three-way partnership comprised of Solid Waste Management, D-21 Metro Councilor Betsy Ruhe and the local Kroger stores has formed to promote the use of reusable Bags. Kroger started its Kroger’s Zero Hunger, Zero Waste Plan, which will benefit from its reusable bag project, as a means to fight hunger and waste in our communities.
At upcoming events within her district, Ruhe will be handing out a limited number or reusable bags suitable for grocery shopping. District 21, which Ruhe represents, includes the neighborhoods of Prestonia, Lynnview, and Iroquois among others. In a statement, Ruhe said:
“Recycling is crucial for local communities as it reduces waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, and minimizes pollution, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for residents now and in the future.”
Getting consumers on board with a program has its challenges, and organizations often turn to Print shops to explain and “sell” programs designed to make life better in their community.
Those not living in District 21 can purchase their own reusable grocery bags at area Kroger stores. The price for the bags is $2.49, of which a dollar will be donated by the company to the Zero Hunger, Zero Waste Foundation.Get a Free Quote for Print Get a Free Quote for Bags
