Before we get down to business, I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who entered the Rainforest-Inspired Envirosax Reusable Bag EXCLUSIVE GIVEAWAY. I had a lot of fun reading about your methods for reusable plastic and paper bags.

For the record, I put my recycling in any paper bags I happen to acquire and take any plastic bags back to the grocery store to be recycled – not very creative, but it gets the job done.

Now …

the time has come …

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

The 5 winners of the Rainforest-Inspired Envirosax Reusable Bag EXCLUSIVE GIVEAWAY are …

(as picked by Random.org) …

Amber! (#3 – “Probably like most people—I use the plastic bags as trash bags (for the smaller trash cans). And whenever I go and visit my mom & take a bunch, as she uses them to clean up doggy poo.”)

Kelly Grant! (#4 – “I find another use for them.”)

Eva D! (#17 – “I try really hard not to have any paper of plastic bags. Sometimes it cant be helped and I will use the bags for doggy doo pick up or for art projects with the kids. (painting on paper then crumpling bags to make a neat design on the paper) more but thats all I can think of at the moment”)

Anya! (#19 – “I recycle mine at the grocery store.”)

Reva Skie! (#30 – “I save the plastic bags and take them back to the store for recycling. I use the brown paper sacks to take back to the store and reuse for groceries. When they are too weak for that, I put paper recycling in them and send them off to the recyclers.”)

Note: I’ve sent you all e-mails (to get your mailing addresses) so the folks at Envirosax can send you your very own Rainforest-Inspired Reusable Envirosax Bag.

Didn’t win? Don’t frown – there are many more contests, eco-discounts, and useful reviews coming your way on Victoria-E.com, so stay tuned!
