| Introduction | Bag Monsters are bad neighbors, leaving litter everywhere and hurting wildlife: So evict them from your town. The age of single-use plastics is over - if you want it. ChicoBag inventor, Andy Keller had been using a huge ball of 500 plastic bags to show people at farmer’s market how many plastic bags an average American uses yearly — and one day he decided to wear it. Thus was the spawning of the first Bag Monster (costume, that is). The Bag Monster costumes were designed by Chico, CA fashionista, Michalyn Renwick. The plastic bags were attached by clients of the Work Training Center, a non-profit that provides meaningful opportunities and employment to adults with disabilities. The plastic bags were collected in a plastic bag drive in which people brought their Bag Monsters (plastic bag stashes) to the Chico Peace and Justice Center in exchange for a free ChicoBag. Anybody with a Bag Monster is in need of a ChicoBag, so it was another example of how our company seeks out win-win situations. This campaign focuses on the environment, but society is an equally important component of sustainability and we do everything we can to support our local economy and work with non-profits. |
