Reusable totes available for downtown Greensboro shopping
Downtown shoppers can cut back some of their packaging trash by picking up a free reusable tote offered by Downtown Greensboro Incorporated (DGI) as part of its efforts to promote the business district and reduce its waste stream. Shoppers get the totes by completing a voucher at particular locations.
The bags are decorated with DGI’s Fun & Lively logo and URL, www.downtowngreensboro.net, and are created out of a recyclable polypropylene material designed to have the strength of cloth. DGI initially ordered 250 bags.
The shopping promotion targets three Saturdays over a three-month period: Oct. 17, Nov. 21 and Dec. 19; however, shopping bags are available at Burton’s Pharmacy (120 E. Lindsay St.), Jules Antiques & Fine Art (530 S. Elm St.), Mack and Mack (220 S. Elm St.), and at Simple Kneads Bakery (227 S. Elm St.) by request, as well as at the DGI office (122 N. Elm St., Ste. 609) weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
