The French
Bulldog Village is going GREEN! Our Go-Green Frenchies bags are
designed to replace plastic and paper bags. The Go-Green Daisy
Frenchie was designed and generously donated to the French Bulldog
Village by renowned Frenchie artist Linda McKee. Buy our bags and not
only will you be helping to save the environment, you'll be supporting your
favorite cause, helping rescued French Bulldogs! Why waste a bunch of plastic bags at the show when you can
take an environmentally friendly Frenchie shopping with you! Stop by
our booth first and pick up a bag to carry all of your goodies around and
home from the show. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Karen Krings
Memorial Fund!
These bags are
made from 100% polypropylene (PP or plastic #5). PP is recyclable,
non-toxic, allergy-free, and non-reactive to human skin. It is often used
for food containers, toothbrushes, and surgical fabrics. The bag is
designed to last up to 2 years of weekly
usage. You can machine wash the bags in cold
water (line dry. A quick wash of the bottom stiffener is all the cleaning it
usually needs. Many cities accept this kind of plastic in their recycling
programs.
In every study,
reusable bags are rated best for the environment. Like a hybrid car, our
reusable PP bags take a little petroleum and go a long way. AND at $7.00
per bag, they are very affordable!

on their own for loading or unloading. They fold
neatly for storage.
● Available Introduction Colors
at this year's national specialty only include
dark forest green, red and celery green (pale green).
Plastic bags,
like all plastic products, are made from petroleum. Americans use over 380
billion bags every year, throwing away millions of barrels of oil and
destroying our environment. Paper bags do not biodegrade in landfills.
Estimates
suggest that plastic grocery store type bags will remain intact for
hundreds if not thousands of years. These bags not only mar the beauty of
our surroundings, but pose a real threat to wild life too. One study
estimated that 100,000 marine animals are killed annually by plastic bags!
