Be a responsible shopper use SM Eco Bag ~ My Opinion

Its Christmas once again and everyone is busy completing their list. Most were flocking in SM Malls for shopping with so many paper and plastic bags on their hands and carts. With tons of plastics and shopping bags is the bigger possibility of putting it on waste if not recycled and it takes a lifetime to break down.

SM Cares, a social corporate responsibility group under SM Supermalls introduced SM Supermalls Green Bag in 2009. The SM Green Bag was created to be an alternative from the usual plastic bag. It encourages the shoppers to reduce the use of plastics bag while their shopping and let them reuse it every time they go to SM.

Recently SM Cares improved the look of the Green Bag making it more stylish and fashionably to carry. They introduce 4 (four) designs and each SM Eco bags cost P35 only.

Breathe – A light blue SM Eco-Bag that advocates the importance of clean air.
Flow – The blue SM Eco-Bag calls on the conservation of marine life and calls on taking care of our waters including the lakes, rivers and sea.
Spark – Conserve energy, this is the call of the orange SM Eco-bag.
Renew – The White-Green SM Eco Bag encourages each one to do the 3 Rs of helping the environment; Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.

The new Eco Bag was introduced in August 2010 with Senator Loren Legarda as one the public personalities advocating for taking care of the environment. The proceeds will go to all the efforts of SM Cares in taking part of environmental projects.

The good thing with the SM Eco Bag, aside from using it on shopping at SM Malls you can use it as a usual bag. The same way I used it during my advocacy talk in the Visayas Blogging Summit in SM Iloilo where I carried my giveaways to the audience. I am using

So next time you shop instead of asking for plastic bags, use the stylish SM Eco Bag. Join the SM Supermalls Eco Bag Facebook Page for more information and future promos.
