Commercial Drive Bags #16862

Second edition bags in store now! Commercial Drive's old street banners get a second life as reusable shopping bags! New shopping bags from old banners; stylish and Oh-So-Green! Almost every year the Commercial Drive Business Society prints 256 32" x 60" nylon street banners which help create a colorful atmosphere for this unique shopping district. Eventually, these unique designs must be retired, so rather than sending them to the landfill they've come up with a very green idea — transform them into reusable nylon shopping bags! By converting the first 3 year's worth of banners (768 banners) into reusable nylon shopping bags rather than using new fabric, we have: • avoided the equivalent of 10,588 pounds or 5.3 tons of CO2 emissions • freed up 814 trees to capture and store CO2 from other sources for a full year • avoided sending 192 kg (422.4 lb) of nylon to the landfill • saved 38,184,960 BTUs of energy – enough to provide electricity to an average Vancouver home for over 15 months "This green initiative even goes one step further", explains Ian McSorley, marketing chair for Commercial Drive. "ALL proceeds from the sale of these shopping bags will be donated to the development of new green spaces in the neighborhood." Bei Linda Tang, owner of, Dream Designs says, “Each of them is a unique embodiment of the Commercial Drive history that we are proud to be part of." These shopping bags have nice, long handles so you can carry them on your shoulder. They are 12.25"W x 16.5"H x 2.5"D and available in 2 versions of 4 colors (with or without the hint of our Commercial Drive logo).
