The “We Green Westport” tote bags were part of a pilot program to see how well they would sell. The bags were sold at the performances of Will Roger’s Follies at Bedford Middle School. They will definitely be sold in other locations, although the specific places have not been decided on yet.

I, too, have been looking all over for these “We Green Westport” grocery bags to replace the use of store bags every time we grocery shop. Any word yet on where and when these can be purchased?
Thanks

Expect to find them at the Green Earth air at Earthplace (April 26 & 27). We will be having a presentation on Saturday and an info table both days. We do not have too many left at this point, any we have left will be available.
