ENDED NOVEMBER 1st, 2009
PepsiCo has teamed up together with a company Envirosax, to develop a line of Pepsi Bags which are made from a recycled material called recycled polyethylene terephthalate material otherwise known as RPET. Say that one 5 times fast. RPET is made from up 100% post-consumer recycled materials like soda bottles and plastic bags. This takes a material which we have much of, and is turned into reusable bags. Each bag is designed to inspire every generation to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Envirosax bags not only save the planet from plastic bag and bottle pollution, but also help on reduce and tleast recycling existing waste creating waste. Um hello, that’s like Recycling awesomeness!
Pepsi Contemporary RPET bags by Envirosax aren’t ordinary because:
There are two bag group, the Contemporary and Heritage which each have a collection of five bags. The five designs in the Contemporary collection reflect Pepsi through the ages;, starting with a time when life was simpler. This is inspired by a time when pristine unspoiled nature was abundant, and plastic bags, and bottles were fewer and far between. The five bags in the Heritage collection feature vintage inspired graphics and designs.
Want to Buy! The Pepsi Contemporary and Heritage bags are available at http://shop.pepsiusa.com for $9.99 each.
I have five individual bags to giveaway.

About Kristin
I grow many of my own veggies and share them with friends and family. I also give away things that I no longer need to others in need.
I recycle cans at a local salvage place. Not only is it helping the environment, I get money for my trouble.

When done with tin foil just wash it off and reuse it.

I recycle all my cans and plastics and try to reuse as many things as I can. I use pringle cans for pencil holders or vases. It’s always fun to make new crafts out of boxes and containers.
I am like the recycle police at my house. I am constantly checking trash for anything that can be recycled – paper, food boxes, TP cores.
I have some of the cloth grocery bags that I use when I shop but they are UGLY! The Pepsi ones are awesome! I think such pretty bags would make people more likely to use them!
I recycle all my cans & bottles. I give them to a co-worker who takes them in for cash. She then uses that money to buy stuff for the underprivileged kids we support throughout the year.
Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<
We recycle everything we can but more importantly we try to purchase items that are either re-usable or recyclable to decrease the amount of waste:)
i use reusable bags as much as possible. walk as much as possible as well
Reuse the bags that you get from grocery stores. Just take them back and use them again!
We are trying to recycle what we purchase. We are teaching our grandkids about recycling. We are learning to take our own bags into the store. We combine errands to save gas and time.
I think a good way to make an impact is to really think about it when you are purchasing items…I shop at Costco where they are trying to make more usable product with less throwaway packaging….Don’t buy items that have a ton of wasteful stuff that just has to go in a landfill, hopefully companies will start taking notice and make things more earth friendly

Call around to see who will pay you to recycle steel, aluminum etc rather than send it to the dump.
I make a compost pile with all of my kitchen scraps. Thankyou for the contest!
I am involving my preschool with others on ways to recycle (the high schoolers come every week to pick up our recycling. Thank you
We have a water purifier and don’t buy bottled water anymore. I can my own tomatoes and tomato juice and grow my own garden.

I was chosen by the electric company to test out a meter that would show me how much electricity was costing me per hour. By following their tips, I was able to reduce my usage from 6 cents an hour to 3 cents an hour (when my husband isn’t home. He tells the world that he cares about the environment, but he REALLY means that he cares about OTHER people taking care of the environment – he should still be able to take 20 minute showers every day and never have to turn off a light). Anyway…. here are the changes I made. I replaced all my light bulbs with the energy efficient ones. I turn off computer monitors when they aren’t in use. I do ALL my laundry at the same time so I don’t have to use the energy to heat up my dryer more than once a week. I do any baking I need to do at the same time I’m making dinner so I only have to heat up the oven once. I turn off the heat/air conditioning when I get up in the morning and wait to see if I actually need it (since it gets cool at night, but warms up during the day – so why keep heating the house when the sun is going to do it anyway?). And then of course I do other stuff like recycling everything possible – even grabbing stuff that people at school are planning on throwing away, using my reusable shopping bags 100% of the time, and planning my errands around the kids’ schedules so I can save gas.

Old holiday or birthday cards can be used to decorate boxes. We make gift boxes for shut-in’s as a Thangsgiving present at our Church. My cards come in handy every year.
I recycle cans,reuse aluminum foil,freezer bags.I need to start using bags other than plastic.
Our school participates with Paper Gator so it gets the whole family involved in recycling. The kids know to put any and all papers they don’t need anymore into a box and we take that to the school when full and dump it in. It also helps the school earn money towards field trips.
I recycle all of my aluminum cans.
I always donate my clothes to the salvation army and never throw anything away that could be used by someone else. thank you for the giveaway!
I have been using my own canvas bags at the grocery store for about a year now. My grocery store pays me a nickel every time I re-use my bags and now I don’t have those cheap plastic bags multiplying all over my house.
I follow you on google friend.
At the end of the month, I gather all the magazines I have and take them to my neighbors house, she reads them and then passes them on. They go through several readings before being recycled.
The best thing is to reduce don’t by cans or single bottle servings. I also make all my crafts out of products that most would throw out. An example ripped nylons and wire hangers from dry cleaners are turned into reindeer door hangers. Baby Jars are great for making snow globes.
I donate my aluminum cans to the Boy Scouts. They collect them for recycling. Our highschool collects newspaper.
I recycle cans and bottles.
