Sickles Market, a gourmet grocery and garden retailer in Little Silver, N.J., has teamed up with a local elementary school to deliver Earth Day messages to customers.
Owner Bob Sickles donated more than 400 paper bags to the school, which the students decorated incorporating an environmental message. On Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, these decorated sacks will be used to bag groceries at Sickles Market.
The effort is part of the 16th international annual Earth Day Groceries Project. This nonprofit, grassroots effort started in 1994, with 43 schools participating in the decoration and distribution of 13,000 Earth Day grocery bags. Over the years this has grown to hundreds of thousands of bags being handed out across the globe.

This is really a big help for our environment and earth. If all grocery bags are made up of recycled materials, then garbage’s will be a little lesser than it is now. Hope this project will continue and be supported by many.
