Reusable Bags are a Perfect Fit for Schools
Everyone seems to be going green these days.  From cars to retail to grocery, schools, corporations, even cities, states and countries are looking at ways of reducing their environmental impact.  The air we breathe, water we drink, the spaces we live in are all affected. According to The USA Today, more than 97% of Americans are at least somewhat concerned about the environmental responsibility of the products they use. The average American household uses more than 400 plastic bags per year, of which less than 1% are recycled.  Talk show host Oprah Winfrey, on her 'green' show in April 2007 made using reusable bags her number one tip for going green.   In the last three years, Earthwise Bag Company, Inc, the nation's largest manufacturer and marketer to reusable bags, has worked with some of the most recognized retailers in the country.  Gelsons, Bristol Farms, Kroger, Supervalu/Albertsons, Linens n' Things and many other have partnered with us to implement turn key reusable bag programs.  These retailers found that reusable bags cut costs, increase revenues, create environmental awareness and provide exposure.  With bags in more than 6,500 locations across the U.S., Earthwise is the leader. 
Replacing traditional school bags and backpacks with an environmentally friendly Earthwise reusable tote bag has many benefits:
*Reduce Costs to Families: Reusable tote bags are much less expensive than traditional school bags and backpacks.  They are extremely durable and washable and will last a long time.
*Increase Revenue for Schools:  Bags can be sold to families as a school fundraiser. Your school can raise money and parents will still be saving more!
*Keeping it Safe: No zippers or other hardware.  
*Environmental Awareness:  Promote your continued commitment to the 'greening' of the planet by making reusable bags available to your school families.  The bag will act as a walking reminder that your school cares about the environment.
*Branding:  Extend your brand each time a student leaves your school.  Your name on the bag is a walking billboard and because the bags are so durable and functional, families may purchase several and use them for extra curricular activities, travel, shopping and more.  The bags can be customized to match your desired look.

Savvy Source for Parents
A web site founding by moms, for moms of preschool age children. This week, the Savvy Source announced that via a partnership with a nationally renowned education non-profit (in early childhood education) it has created a FREE new way for parents to asses their child's development needs - and to find the best educational toys to help them progress. In a nutshell, parents answer a simple set of questions on www.savvysource.com concerning a two to six year old's development (in areas as diverse as making friends to movement/coordination to early literacy skills). Based on answers to these questions the Savvy Source provides a customized set of recommendations of the very best educational books, toys and activities to engage a child's imagination and development at this particular moment of their growth. Recommendations in The Savvy Source's Learning Guide, based on a child's unique developmental needs, are drawn from:
. Toys that have won awards from The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Dr. Toy and Parent's Choice,
. Books and toys recommended by Directors at some of the most highly regarded preschools in the country,
. Preschool Sequence-designed activities,
. The parent-generated Savvy Activities Encyclopedia,
. And, Savvy Picks from the Savvy Source Book and Toy Editors.
In addition to having access to hundreds of free activities tailored to their child's developmental needs, parents can turn the book and toy
recommendations into a Learning Registry to be shared with grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends as they are doing holiday shopping, so that gift-giving is uniquely tailored to a child's age, interests and personality. The Savvy Learning Resource is a wonderful way to help parents create a rich learning environment at home for a child's future development as well as hours of inspiring play. This is the first of its kind tool for parents. Any questions, you can call Lisa at at 310.395.2544
