Fashionably Green with SM Eco Bags

On my recent trip to Hong Kong, I noticed that they just don’t give the plastic bags that you put your purchases on for free.  They usually charge you with HKD 0.50 I guess to promote a more eco-friendly shopping.

Vince and I were buying our favorite drinks on 7/11 there and we were surprised that they didn’t give us any plastic bag despite our many purchases so, we carried it to our hotel

I am very happy about this because as you know, I am a huge advocate for our environment.  Different people choose different causes, but I love science, chemistry, biology and all that other geeky stuff and I can’t ignore the fact that we are all in trouble.  So, I chose to pose for project headshot before for and voted for “Environmental Stability”.

I’ve seen eco-bags here in the Philippines too, and companies are starting to think green!  Not money this time but a greener healthier future for our environment!  I am so glad to hear that SM offers eco bags because in fact, SM is like the biggest mall chain in the nation and lots of plastic bags are being used every day.

These bags are reusable and environment friendly.  They can be purchased for only P35 in all SM Supermalls nationwide.  The bag is made of recyclable polypropylene material which is durable enough to last up to two years of weekly use and is large enough to fit plenty of your purchases!

I highly encourage everyone to use Eco bags instead of using plastic all the time, they made it more fashionable so that you can use it more

First of all, it is light and can be folded to fit in your regular bag.  Sometimes, I bring a portable foldable bag like this just so that I have an extra bag that I can use to put stuff I just randomly buy while shopping or when going to events.

Second, You have four different designs to choose from – more fashionable than ever!
