ASDA 'Green Goodies for Schools' programme
 | In 2007 EcoStyle supplied 1,500 Wind Turbine Kits to ASDA as part of their 'Green Goodies for Schools' voucher scheme. More than 3,000 primary and secondary schools signed up for the first phase of the ASDA scheme, with six million ASDA green goodies for schools vouchers available: Shoppers are being encouraged either not to use a bag at all or to bring their own bags into stores. Shoppers who do not take a new bag when shopping will be rewarded with 'Green Goodies for Schools' vouchers. |
The 10-week scheme aims to cut down on landfill waste whilst giving something back to local communities - local schools can exchange the vouchers for a host of green goodies, including aluminium can crushers, bug hotels, ant farms, DIY greenhouses, papermaking kits, and model wind turbines.
Claire Costello, ASDA's anti-bags tsar said: "It's simply not sustainable to keep throwing away billions of bags each year. That's why we want our customers to change the habit of a lifetime. If you bring back five old bags, we'll give you a free bag for life and if you resist the temptation to take any new bags we'll give you green vouchers for your local school."
