Get Bags of Change for your ethical shopping

April 05, 2007

From 15 April you can buy a stylish sustainable hemp-cotton bag that awards you discounts on local, organic and Fairtrade goods at participating independent stores.

Bags of Change is a loyalty scheme with a difference. Instead of a plastic card, shoppers get a sturdy reusable bag, no need for plastic - and it will appeal to your fashion conscience too.

Faith Simpson, Bags of Change's co-founder says: ‘I wanted a vehicle that would make shopping ethically as easy as possible – so it would become even more attractive. . .We discovered that one of the biggest barriers to ethical shopping was price.’

So Bags of Change shoppers instantly get discounts in participating stores – simply by shopping with the distinctive bag and a monthly e-newsletter will give you the low down on ethical shopping in your area.
