Free Reminder to Bring Your Own Bags

I just ordered a free window cling from www.conservingnow.com. You put it in your driver's side car window and it serves as a reminder to bring your own bags. Here's how you can help spread the word:

How You Can Help ConservingNow

Thank you for your support of the very important environmental initiative. By displaying your car window static cling, you will not only remember your bags but you will be letting others know that you are a supporter of the environment.

Individually, we can all have an impact by doing our part but together we can make a HUGE difference! We need everyone's help to spread the word. Below are some ways you can help us do just that:

Tweet to your Twitter followers (Have trouble remembering your reusable bags? Go to www.conservingnow.com to get your FREE car window static cling today).
Go to conservingnow.com page on Facebook and check "Like This" (This used to be called "become a fan") - Post a suggestion on your Facebook page that your friends do the same.
Post a similar message to the #1 suggestion above on your Facebook page. Encourage your friends to get their own static cling at www.conservingnow.com.
Send an email sharing your support of this cause along with the website link to your friends, family and colleagues suggesting that they join you in this important initiative.
If you know a blogger, news outlet, eco organization, school, church, city official, corporate green officer, community organization leader or anyone that has access to a large following or membership, suggest that they take a look at our site and encourage them to get involved by letting their following or membership know about ConservingNow.
Tell the manager of the places you shop that you would like to see them support ConservingNow. We will be happy to provide any grocer and/or retailer with free color posters to hang in their store. These posters give some background about why this is such an important initiative - there is also a photo of the clings and instructions for people to get their own FREE cling.
Contact your local politician to tell them about ConservingNow. They can go to our Community Change section of our site and find out what other cities/states are doing about plastic bags.
Ask your employer to send an email out about ConservingNow. We recently had one organization that gave out clings to their 5500 employees suggesting that they all adopt the reusable bag habit at home.
Tell teachers, schools and parents about our Teaching Our Children section. There are classroom kits along with many free resources for educating our children about the environment.
Hand out ConservingNow free car window static clings at your organization/community and school events or even at the local grocery stores. Help others remember their bags.
Conduct a fundraiser a fundraiser for an organization that you are involved in. Selling ConservingNow’s reusable bags is a great way to make money and do something for the environment.
Become a ConservingNow ambassador. Let us know what you are doing that is working. Do you have some ideas that we have not thought of? Is there someone you want to introduce us to? Email us - we want to hear from you! We will have a monthly drawing for one of our reusable bags which will go to the person who has facilitated the introduction that had the greatest impact that month.
