Join Earth Share of California and Ralphs Supermarkets as they usher in reusable shopping bags. As an earth-friendly alternative, Ralphs is pleased to introduce the new reusable shopping bags promotion. The bags will be available in all Southern California Ralphs stores.

The cost of the bags is 2 for $3.  With each reusable shopping bag purchased, a 50-cent donation will go to benefit Earth Share of California and its environmental charities. Customers will also receive 5 cents back each time they use their Ralphs reusable shopping bag.

Top 5 Reasons to Reuse a Bag:

  • The petroleum in 14 plastic bags could drive a car 1 mile.
  • Americans use over 14 billion plastic bags annually.
  • It takes 70% more global warming gasses to make a paper bag than a plastic bag.
  • Paper bags do not biodegrade in landfills.
  • Cities spend up to 17 cents per bag in disposal costs.

Earth Share of California and its environmental charities would like to thank the Ralphs/Food 4 Less Foundation for their generous $10,000 donation to kick off the promotion.
