Join the MY ECO Reuse Challenge

Students and their families will ‘Start Counting Change' with reusable grocery bags at Shaw’s Supermarkets this fall.

MY ECO is launching an initiative in September 2013, supported by Shaw’s Supermarkets, to increase the use of reusable bags at checkout. Shaw’s is the first supermarket in Massachusetts to join the innovative MY ECO challenge and will provide an incentive and reward in the form of donations to local schools and charities when customers shop with their own bags. By simply scanning a code at checkout, the customer tracks reuse and banks the donation on behalf of their school. If 100 families sign up to support their school and shop each week at Shaw’s, they can raise over $3,000, just by shopping with their own bags. In addition, they would keep 100,000 single use bags out of landfills. Shoppers can now sign up for free at www.getmyeco.com.

Register you school or charity at http://www.getmyeco.com/newPartnerRegistration.action and Start Counting Change.
