This contest is officially closed.
President Obama is heading to Martha’s Vineyard for vacation next week. (I don’t want to hear a gripe about it, he’s going on vacation, get over it.)
I just got back from my own vacation there, I had a great time, too.I managed to recycle and compost in between trips to the beach, barbeques with friends & family, bike rides and such. No, it isn’t what you want to think about while on vacation but if you saw how much recycling I generated, you, too would agree it was a necessity. I would have felt so guilty throwing away so many easily recycled items. Martha’s Vineyard has a few transfer stations to recycle at, so it wasn’t that big of a deal. $15 for a recycle sticker. I cringe when I think of how much recycling gets thrown away while people are on vacation.
Maybe Obama could set an eco-friendly example while he is there. Have his entire entourage recycle. Secret Service on bikes. That kind of thing.
He could start small and work his way up! Obama or Michelle could grab a SnapSac over at Cronigs Market for starters. Cute, reusable bags that can be used as beach totes, grocery bags, purses. The uses are endless and the message is there: use reusable bags for toting your stuff around, leave the plastic one-use bags behind.
I received one as a gift while I was on Martha’s Vineyard, which was nice – thanks SnapSac! However, I own so many reusable bags that I felt compelled to have an
impromptu giveaway. I grabbed a teen counselor at my daughter’s camp and gave it to her. She loved it. (Get ‘em hooked on reusable bags while they are young, right?) I think it looks eco-chic on her!
Let’s give away a Snapsac! Check out SnapSac on Facebook to see more pictures of all the bags they have to offer. Comment here and let me know which one you would love to win. I will pick a winner with a random number generator. That’s easy!
Contest ends Sunday August 21, 2011 at 11:59 PM EST. Open to United States residents only.





I just love them all but my favorite is the SnapSac insulated Cooler Tote – great for bringing cold items home from the grocery store
Love those bags! I really like the one they showcased for Mercedez Benz Fashion Week – very cute. I love how versatile the bags are – great functionality.
How adorable! I love the zigzag pattern and the large size is obviously perfect for the beach!
I know there’s a bigger message here. But all I can think now is: Ahhhh the Vinnnneyard. (I’m so jealous!)
I hear you!
