Weekly Pink Goes Green Tip

Need a new bag to carry your books in around campus?  Well don't go spend $50 on a bag that you will not even use after college.  Instead, reuse old cloth bags to carry your books in. 

Delta Zeta's on this campus and around the country are using their DZ convention bags and dzdesignbags to carry their books in.  If you are not in a sorority, you could do this with any bag you have laying around your house. 

What happens if they are too old and torn??  Get some materials for $5.00-$10.00 from Jo Anne Fabrics and patch up your bag.  You could also add studs and more colorful fabric and turn your old bag into something new and hip. 

These bags can also be used to carry around your groceries.  This will help the environment because it will allow for plastic and paper bags to not be reused.  So, next time you want to buy a book bag or go to the grocery store, remember you could be more eco-friendly by reusing an older bag.
