Students and their families will ‘Start Counting Change'
with reusable grocery bags at Shaw’s Supermarkets this fall.



MY ECO is launching an initiative in September 2013,
supported by Shaw’s Supermarkets, to increase the use of reusable bags at
checkout. Shaw’s is the first supermarket in Massachusetts to join the
innovative MY ECO challenge and will provide an incentive and reward in the
form of donations to local schools and charities when customers shop with
their own bags. By simply scanning a code at checkout, the customer tracks
reuse and banks the donation on behalf of their school. If 100 families
sign up to support their school and shop each week at Shaw’s, they can raise
over $3,000, just by shopping with their own bags. In addition, they would keep
100,000 single use bags out of landfills. Shoppers can now sign up for free at www.getmyeco.com.



Register you school or charity at http://www.getmyeco.com/newPartnerRegistration.action and Start Counting Change.
