The reusable shopping bags will be available for purchase on Dec. 12 after chapel and during lunch.<\/div>\n

Be green this Christmas season with EMU-branded cloth shopping bags, available beginning Wednesday, Dec. 12, for only $7. <\/p>\n

The idea of reusable bags grew out of regular meetings of the “Recycling, Reducing, and Transportation” task force of EMU’s fast-growing Creation Care Council<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The sturdy bags are made from 80 percent recycled cotton and 20 percent recycled plastic bottles. Each bag features an EMU original design. <\/p>\n

Community members purchased bags from Creation Care Council members after chapel on Wednesday, Dec. 12 and outside the dining hall until early afternoon. <\/p>\n

By the end of the work day, only a handful of bags were left and plans for an additional order were already underway. <\/p>\n

Task force members hope to sell the bags at Common Grounds coffeehouse<\/a> during the spring 2008 academic semester. <\/p>\n
