If you have children and haven't heard of "Roots and Shoots", you may want to do a search for it on the internet.

The Shirt Farmer.com web-site is here in part because of the 'Roots and Shoots' plastic bag campaign. Once we discovered how many plastic bags were being used daily, and what they do to the land, my son decided he needed to let as many people as possible know about it. It was just before Christmas, so I suggested he give some re-usable bags to all our family members. He could decorate it, and tell them how important it is to try to avoid using any disposable bags. This is what he came up with.....

Side one........then side two

Well, some of the family was impressed. The bags he gave were book bags though, which are fine for light shopping, but grocery bags need to be deeper. I looked around and found some.

I thought it would be fun to promote re-usable bags as another form of self expression......just like tee-shirts. If we are to carry these things around all the time, for all the purchases we make, why not express ourselves on them....instead of some business advertisement?

So, here we are! And now you know why we sell bags.....the tee shirts are strictly for fun!

UPDATE- China has initiated a ban on thin plastic bags within their country....effective June this year (08). They will also impose a fine on other plastic bags.
