Reusable bags come in all shapes and sizes but something they all have in common is that they protect our environment and save resources.

Atkinsons' Markets has partnered with the Environmental Resource Center since 2007 to raise awareness about reusable bags and increase their use throughout our valley.

Atkinsons' Markets ratcheted up efforts in 2007 by selling, at cost, their own reusable bags for only $.99. They then went one step further and offered customers an incentive.
