This is our fourth year of participating in the grocery bag ecology
activity. Every year, the students are excited to take part. We will be
decorating 230 bags. This includes grades 5 through 8. Great homepage.
I appreciate all the help you have included. Thanks!

Nebraska Earth Day Groceries Reports - 1997
Hi, I submitted my bag count on May 1 and as I check the count for NE for
1997 I see that it isn't included. Just want to let you know that we did
participate and perhaps you are still counting. I see the 1997 map says in
progress. If you didn't get the info, here it is -230 bags decorated by
5-8 graders.
It's a fun and easy project!

Hi, This year(our second) we included the 7th and 8th graders and
decorated 320 bags. The bags are being distributed by the two grocers in
Wayne-IGA and Pac-N-Save. This is such an easy yet effective way to
recognize Earth Day.

Hello,
We are all working hard on our bagsto have them ready by Sat. I love the
idea! The grocers were happy to be a part of Earth Day. We included the
sixth grade this year(I teach fifth grade.) but hope to involve the
seventh and eighth next year. We will distribute 160 bags on Sat. We
look forward to hearing from you.

I am sorry that this report is soooo late!!! This is such a neat
project and it is our second year for doing it! This year it was not
quite as successful, because we had a spring break right before the Earth
Day, so we were trying to decorate bags in a crunch. Therefore we
decorated 201 bags, only! But we will gear up for next year and be
ready. Thanks for organizing this worthwhile project. It is always a
hit with the local supermarket and the community!

We received your email message about your Earth Day project and we would
like to participate in it. We have gotten 90 grocery bags from Festival
Foods, a grocery store in Omaha, NE. We have four third grade classes
here at Bryan Elementary School so all of us are going to decorate a bag
and the store will use them on Earth Day.
Please let us know how many bags were passed out and the schools that
decorated bags. Thank you.
