ChicoBags, the reuseable nylon bags in a pouch, are available in the Hatch office in a rainbow of colors. Small enough to fit in a purse or pocket or clip to a keychain, this is one bag you won't forget at home.
The average American uses 300-700 plastic bags per year, most of which end up in landfills or polluting our oceans. ChicoBags are an easy way to make a difference, one bag at a time.
ChicoBags also make GREAT HOLIDAY GIFTS so stop by the office soon to pick one out for everyone on your list!
$5 each - Exact change or checks payable to Hatch PTO. Questions? Contact Cathi Knickrehm.
