Paperdoll Goes Green & Customers save RM1

"Save a Plastic bag, save the Planet"

• Roaches love paper bags — they attract them.
• When paper bags decompose, they release methane.
• Paper bags require 71 percent more energy to make and recycle.
• Plastic bags consume 6 percent of the water needed to make paper bags.
• Plastic bags destroy natural resources and ecosystem.
  
• Both Paper & Plastic bags contributes to green house gasses.
  
• Plastic bags do not discompose.
  
• Over a hundred thousand sea turtles, whales, and other marine mammals choke and die because they mistake plastic bags for their dinner.
• Plastic bags caught on coral suffocate and kill the coral.

Above are just a "few" reasons why we've decided to start up our own environmental initiative. That and because we realize that after watching Earth (a documentary about our planet) that our earth and its inhabitants are dying.

So please join us in our attempt at making our earth a slightly better place to live for the animals already suffering due to our lifestyle, and of course, for future generations; and the next time you're at the boutique, please ask us to keep our plastic & paper bags, and in return, we'll take off RM1 of your total purchase.

Ways to use and recycle your plastic bag:

• Recycle them as your rubbish/trash bin bags - that way you don't have to spend money on extra 'plastic' rubbish/trash bin bags.
• Donate your extra plastic bags to charities which may need them. E.g. Animal shelters, homes.
• Fold them up tight and always have a few in your car, your purse for impromptu shopping/grocery trips.
• Cut them into strips and make a waterproof mat as gifts, or just to use around the house. Patterns can be found here.

Sincerely,
The Staff at Paperdoll
