(Cristina Sacco - Glasgow, Scotland) Bags of Change is a loyalty scheme for shops selling organic and fair trade goods, except instead of a loyalty card, you use their bag. Shoppers with the bag will get discounts on organic and fair trade items in participating shops. Unlike the reusable grocery store-branded bags ubiquitous here, these are made from hemp and organic cotton and are cute enough to act as an every-day tote bag. The bag costs £14.85 and is available in three colors.
All the men out there buying organic goods write to Bags of Changeand ask them to introduce more styles, as these bags are clearly aimed at women. Shops in the scheme sell a wide range of products, including food, paint, mattresses, toys, cleaning products, vitamins, and luggage. Wouldn't men enjoy a discount on these things too?
