Just found out about this yesterday:

Early this month, SM Cares & Unilever have launched their joint project called "GREEN BAG".

The green bag is given free of charge to all SM Advantage members for a purchase worth P500, inclusive of a Unilever product. The bag if used/reused in their next shopping for groceries, 2 reward points shall be credited to the member.

Attachment 8553

This project aims to minimize, if not eliminate, the use of plastic bags.

2 thumps up for SM & Unilever for this wonderful project for the environment.

gandang idea ito. actually sa ireland this is what they are using. they encourage people to use this kind of bag para hindi na dumami mga plastic bags nila which will cause pollution dahil nga non biodegradable material mga plastics. Infact sa mga grocery shops nila they sell their plastic bags for around 5 cents (euro).

Pansin ko parang walang gumagamit nito, though we tried to claim ours last week out of stock pa daw!

This is a good move to at least eliminate or lessen the plastic shopping bags...

Sana some companies would follow like other dept stores, groceries and fast foods, eto pa naman mga grupong ito malaking contributor sa plastic wastes...

sa akin lang ha, medyo half baked yung green bag na yan. kasi parang ginagwang pang promo ng sm yung bag... free bag for evry purchase worth 500 at uniliver products. tapos kelangan sm advantage card holder ka pa. pero kung talgang gusto natin makatulong sa pagbawas ng plastic bags, bakit di nalang tayo mag dala ng sarili natin bag.

if they are really serious about reducing plastic bag usage, give discounts to customers who bring their own bags, tingnan natin kundi dumami dadala ng sariling bag. tsaka dapt may dicount talga pag maysariling bag kahit 50 cents kasi computed na into the price ng mga item yung plastic bag.
