CHICO, CA, April 10, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- In addition to the usual stunning display of athletic skills, Lakers fans attending a recent game at the Staples Center received a green treat. Lakers-customized ChicoBag reusable shopping bags were the giveaway that evening. Destined to become a fan favorite and collectible, the bags are that familiar shade of purple fans know and love, and feature a gold Lakers logo on front.
These machine washable bags conveniently compress into their own self-contained pouch so they are palm-sized, and can clip to a key ring, backpack, purse strap, belt loop, or simply be slipped into a pocket. They are capable of holding up to 25 pounds of Lakers' merchandise, gym clothes, books - or whatever gear fans need to carry.
With the single-use bag ban movement growing worldwide, and gaining momentum in Los Angeles, Lakers fans can join the cutting edge of the green movement by not only displaying team spirit, but their commitment to the environment by sporting the bags when they shop. When these 21,000 special edition ChicoBags leave the Staples Center, with regular use, Lakers fans could potentially keep about a million single use shopping bags off the streets of Los Angeles, out of waterways, and away from local landfills each year.
Local businesses win too, as ChicoBag is extending a special discount exclusive to the Los Angeles business community. Businesses and non-profit organizations with "Los Angeles" as their official city mailing address, or those within Los Angeles County, will receive 15 % off their first order of customized bags when they mention the "Los Angeles Discount" when placing the order. The offer is good on custom orders placed by June 3, 2009, with a minimum of 12 weeks' production time for graphic design approval. Area nonprofits placing orders can also benefit from a visit from the company's Bag Monster mascot at one of their fundraising events, and are encouraged to inquire about scheduling an appearance.
About ChicoBag: ChicoBag's reusable shopping bags provide one of the most convenient and affordable solutions for breaking the single-use bag habit. The company is widely respected for its dedication to environmental preservation and it has instituted a recycling program through which its bags can be returned after they have finished their service. ChicoBag has been featured in TIME, Real Simple, Entrepreneur, Fortune, Natural Home, InStyle, PARADE, Natural Health, Money and many other print outlets, in addition to a variety of broadcast and online media. Its bags are in the hands of a host of eco-minded celebs: The Black Eyed Peas, Amy Adams, Ed Begley, Jr., Amy Smart, Susan Sarandon, Hilary Swank, Liv Tyler, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Ty Pennington, Patrick Dempsey and many others.
