FEATURED ITEM: Reusable Canvas Shopping Bag
Each year, Americans use 30 billion plastic and 10 billion paper grocery bags. According to the National Resources Defense
Council, the production of these bags requires 14 million trees and 12 million barrels of oil. Less than 2 percent of the bags are recycled,
leaving the rest to sit in landfills, pollute waterways and generate harmful greenhouse gases.
"The Florida Museum has been an important figure in promoting environmental awareness for years," said Florida Museum Director Doug Jones. "We are excited to encourage the public to learn more about sustainability using these bags, and hope that this will be an easy first step for people to take."
Cost of the bags is $8, including tax. Proceeds from the sale of the bags will benefit Florida Museum research, collections and public programs. In-store purchase only.
Both stores accept cash, Travelers Checks, American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
